I have been working on the Ponies but unfortunately I didn’t think about grabbing a few pictures during this.
But I have found a few pictures showing some of the Ponies that I will be building as a part of this project.
These planes will be made using some kits from my Mustang Kindergarten.
I know that most of them have been made before on numerous occasions. But they are ones that I want to build for my collection.
Shangri La. Gentile’s Mustang razor back. This plane was one of my favorites from my childhood. I built it originally using the ancient 1/32 scale Revell model.
This is the same plane as covered by the decals that Pedro Rocha was so kind to send me. It has Donald Duck on the nose and going from memory here, I think the pilot was named Emerson.
Chuck Yeager’s Mustang. He is another one of my heroes. I think I have enough decals to cobble it together.
This one was another kit that I had built up as a kid. Back then I used the 1/48 Monogram Mustang and the kit supplied decals. Since then I have picked up a set of Lifelike decals and have plans to make it again, this time using either a 1/48 Tamiya or Airfix kit.
This last picture shows a group of planes that were flying in formation somewhere over Central Florida during WW2. They were all based out of Orlando Army Air Base at the time. This is an amazing original color photograph.
I want to make this picture but in 1/48 scale and they will be parked on the field.
