1/72 Academy P-51 "North Africa"
I just finished the 1/72 Academy P-51 "North Africa" boxing. I think the kit had been languishing in the stash for about a decade so it was time to get it built and I kind of like the look of the Allison powered Mustangs. The kit came with a 1/72 "Follow Me" Jeep so I built it as well. The only thing added were PE seatbelts. Everything else is OOB. Cannon barrels have been drilled out. I added some windshield glass to the Jeep as for some reason it was not provided in the kit. Both the aircraft and the Jeep were painted with MRP paints.
Excellent P-51, Geoffrey!
Hard to believe it's only 1/72.
Great job on the Follow Me as well!
Very nice results, Geoffrey.
The accompanying jeep is great as well.
Well done.
Nicely done Geoffrey, can't believe you built a 1/72 Jeep. Built a Tamiya Jeep in 1/48 and thought that was tiny, at 1/72 it has to be minuscule. Well done.
Love the early Mustangs with Operation Torch markings. Very nice result indeed.
Nice job on both builds, the overall finish looks great! The Academy P-51A looks pretty accurate for an early Mustang.
Love the P-51A and the Jeep - Geoffrey, nicely done!
Looks great! Those N. Africa insignia make for an interesting scheme on the ubiquitous Mustang! I'm gonna have to look for a set...
Nice Allison powered Mustang!
This looks excellent ! I wish this were available in 1/32 scale !
