North American P51 Mustang series Raúl Hrubisko

April 10, 2021 · in Aviation · · 18 · 1.2K

Hello

I would like to share with you the final photos of our North American P51 Mustang series.

We couldn't make it without the support and help of many people, specially: Colin Ford, David William Muir, Piet Van Schalkwky, Stefaan Surgeon, Buster West, Carl Vincent, Phil Listemann, Martin Pelz, Jagan Pillarisetti and Luis Cid among others.

It is very exciting for us to have received such help from people with so much knowledge in the field. That makes us try to make our future projects better.

My father made all of them in 8 months of hard work. I spent a similar time to do the research of each one.

As always we have tried to represent the history of selected aircraft, in this case the North American P51 Mustang, in our collection's scope during WWII.

There probably some some mistakes but in summary we believe it has come quite nice

This is the third largest's series of our collection after the Spitfire (120) and Hurricane (110)

All of them together (62 models).

All the Mk I

Mk IA

Mk II

Mk III

Mk IV

Others

    • Hi Neil.
      Thank you very much. Yes, we have some interesting future project, for example the Curtiss P36 series and the single trainer gliders in RAF service and probable later the Curtiss P40.

      Cheers

  5. You must be utterly and totally bonkers!

    Well job done, what an impact all those make when you see them all together. Probably the biggest formation of Mustangs since WW2.

  6. Makes you realize how important Mustang was to RAF & Commonwealth.

  7. Wow, lost of words, Santiago!
    Congratulations!
