North American P-51 Mustang series – Raúl Hrubisko

December 26, 2020 · in Aviation · · 4 · 2K

Hi to all.

It has been a long time since I have not posted here. I will try to correct that mistake.

During the second half of the year my father and I have been working in one of the largest series of our collection after the Spitfire (122) and Hurricane (110) series.

We have received a lot of help for this project. Many modeller and well known historians shared with us their knowledge in order to build these models. I have to give a special thanks to Colin Ford and David Muir.!

There are about 15 or 19 more Mk IV to do.The final number of this series will be around 60 models.

These are the ones already made.

  1. Nice work.

    (You might want to give a second look to #2, #8 and #12 regarding the landing gear - a simple mistake when you're doing an assembly line)

  2. Wow, a P-51 assembly line!
    Looks great, Santiago!

  3. One heck of a collection! Well done.
