Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Continuing the iModeler Mustang theme I present my Tamiya P-51B, with a Verlinden cockpit and a set of Aeromaster decals added.
This build is from the late 90s and was the first project where I used a double-action airbrush for painting [...]
This is not a recently finished one, but one of my favourite Starfighters with TuAF markings. Turkey is one of the very first countries to receive the F-104s within the MAP program in 1963. Later, in 70s and 80s TuAF continued to receive [...]
In 1951 Colonel Robert L. Scott Jr., author of "God is My Co-Pilot," commanded the 31st Fighter-Bomber Wing at Furstenfeldbruck in West Germany. It being winter with bad flying weather, he came up with an idea: how about an [...]
North American P-51NA „Mustang“
North American P-51 B-10NA "Mustang"At the 1944 19.Juli the American pilot 1LT Curtis Simpson of the 4th FG of the US air force had to make an emergency landing with his "Mustang" [...]
A recently finished model (VERY recently, about 30 minutes ago or so...). This is the new Eduard 1/72 Bf-110 from the C/D-boxing. There are other decal options in the kit that are a lot more attractive than this one but I felt so sorry for [...]
Don Gentile's "Shangri-La" and James O. Howard's "Ding Hao." Both pretty much OOB other than p-e seatbelts and Aeromaster decals. Both done some 12 years ago.
Don Gentile was perhaps one of the most controversial aces [...]
Tuskegee P-51B flown by Major Charles McGee, veteran of 3 wars. Tamiya 1/48 kit, Warbird decals. Alclad finish. Poor pictures. Sorry, all I have right now.
...this one doesn't really help the USAF against the Messerschmitts but it is still a Mustang 🙂 ! Academy kit with Cutting Edge decals. Metal finish was Vallejo (!), a bit fragile but still the best I have managed yet! I'll see if I can [...]
Supporting force for the rescue unit.
This is P-51B Mustang finished with the markings of “Berlin Express” (43-24823) which was flown by Lt. William B. Overstreet of 363rd FS (357 FG)
.
Cockpit floor has corrected by adding a plastic [...]
Another 1/48 Tamiya P-51D modified to a P-51D-5 (it's really not that hard and you don't really need that expensive hunk of aftermarket resin).
George Preddy's "Cripes A' Mighty 3rd" as she appeared in early August 1944 after his [...]
