CBI Colts
First up the ancient Frog P-51A, 'Jackie', India 1944 pilot J.J. England
Second, equally ancient Monogram P-51B, white 267,China 1945,pilot Tex Hill
I guess all the "Ds" were going to Europe then, I used superscale decal sheet 72-364 because it had the CBI selections, but the first decal fell apart, to save them I coated them with Testors decal bonder 9200, I've used it more than once and so far it's it works. See guys I do more than navy stuff.
Two nice lookin' builds, Robert...those stands come with 'em?
Thanks, the stand with 'B' came with it, the with the 'A' is another monogram.
Nice set of Mustangs - and in the right scale!
I admire anyone prepared to have a go at these ancient kits ,good work.

Nice. Why is it as I get older my kits seem to get larger.
It's probably due to age related myopia or something
Although I don't claim to be an expert on eyes,i have no real knowledge on the subject
Bob, nice brace of Mustangs. The Monogram "B" despite it's age is still a good kit shapewise. Takes me back, it does, that was before the Army got me. I had hair!.
I still have a Frog, which was the only one of the Allison Mustang for years.
Good work on both.
Thanks all.
beautiful...how do you use the bonder
It comes in a spray can, its intended use is home made decals. by the way if any one needs a Malcolm hood for the 'stang, it's available, it came with the monogram it. maybe it'll fit other kits.
Robert, nice work here. Nice to see these markings.
I was just having this conversation today with a fellow model buddy about early mustangs and why a new version of a "B" has not been released. Tamiya was suppose to do it when they started a down size of all their 1/48 scale's, but for some reason stopped. I would think their would be plenty of interest and marking choices to make it profitable, I'd buy a stack of em' !
Nice
Good job on these old kits, Rob.
Nice work Robert, always nice to see an allison engined mustang. The Monogram kit builds up well - great to see - must dig my one out
