P-51D MustangMonogram 1/48

June 26, 2025 · in Aviation · · 3 · 222

This is the oldie but goodie P-51D from Revell/Monogram. It was released in 1998. This depicts Col. John D. Landers mount. Landers flew with the 9th Fighter Squadron in the Pacific and commanded the 357th Fighter Group and the 78th Fighter Group during the war. He was credited with six kills during his time in the Pacific in a P-40. He added 8.5 more kills in this P-51D while serving in the European theater for a total of 14.5 kills.

I built this over 20 years ago before I acquired an airbrush and painted it with brushes. It is straight out of the box.

  1. Excellent Mustang, Mike! Equally excellent hand painting skills!

  2. A very nice looking Mustang, Mike @micrometer
    Your brush painting skills are superb. Not easy to create such a beautiful NMF with brush painting.

  3. Looks great! Surprised you achieved such a good look to the NMF with a brush - well done.
