Very nice work. That instrument panel is marvellous.
Tolga, very nice build. Looks like you replaced more than you started with!
Thanks Rob,
Yes Tamiya s P-51B is a nice kit indeed, but with these additions it s getting better and better if you are ready to spent money:)
Stunning workmanship as usual, Tolga...love you work.
Great looking Mustang - really looks the part! Nicely finished and detailed.
Another winning effort Tolga. It looks real enough to take off.
Great one again, Tolga.
The wood grain and the chippings all around the wing roots - just the right balance.
Can it be that you give your models a little more of a glossy finish recently?
Hi Halvar
Any effort to give more glossy finish, may be due to angle of the sunlight.
This is the ultimate Shangri La I've seen so far.
Nice detail and build and so paint as it has already been in practice of you.
Very nice, love it!
Good job, Tolgar, as usual!
Using afermarkets improves the general appearance of the model without doubt.
I miss photos of the back side of the kit.
It is noticed that the plane is well assembled and painted and full of details that achieved a believable result.
Did you use blue tack to paint the olive drab? How did you do the edge between the two camouflages?
Cheers.

How did you do the edge between the olive drab and neutral grey? Blue tack?
Cheers!
Thanks Oscar
Uhu Tac Yellow used for the demarcation line.
