Capt. Freddie Ohr's P-51D Mustang.
This one's been a long time coming. The AeroMaster decals must be 20 years old at least & they've been on my 'must do' list for as long. The kit is the Airfix 1/48th. first variant, which I have done once before & I enjoyed it just [...]
Modelsvit's P-51H Mustang
History:
The original Allison-powered Mustang was a lightweight fighter with excellent handling capability. Pilots I know who have had the opportunity to fly these early Mustangs and compare them with the later Merlin-powered P-51B and [...]

Not another Mustang! Or: why it is always worthwhile to build a classic again.
With well known aircraft types, the model building enthusiast may be inclined to quickly think "not again..." and then quickly turn away interest. The thought, however, that every single aircraft was connected with individual [...]
Scarlet Kate and Little Joe
I built these two 1/72 P-51Bs to compare the Academy and Revell kits. I enjoyed both builds, although the Academy kit – finished as 'Scarlet Kate' – was perhaps the easiest of the two in terms of fit and ease of construction. I also [...]
