First completion of 2019. Actually its been in process for awhile. The Airfix kit is well done with no flaws to mention. Airfix's color coded assembly instructions came in handy in a few steps though. I added an Eduard P-51D interior [...]
So it's confirmed. With the proverbial Tamiya shake-and-bake kit still to be considered a benchmark in kit engineering, challenged by recent new releases by Meng and Airfix... Eduard will be bringing us another 1/48 scale kit of the [...]
My SAAF No2 Sqn 'Flying Cheetahs' from when they flew in the Korean war.
The kit used was a 1/48 Tamiya F-51D Mustang (Korean war version).
It is a replica of 'Clink Clinks'. The yellow underwing tanks are the napalm tanks used along with [...]
My first off the bench for 2019 is Tamiya's old P-51D completed as an F-6D Recce bird from the 10th Photo Reconnaissance Group. This aircraft was flown by Lt. John R. "Red" Ellis, who obviously was from the great state of [...]
Hi guys.
My name is Jordyn Collier. I am new to this site, and I am 15. This P51 D Mustang was flown by Col. John D Landers during the second world war. He was a part of the 84th Fighter Squadron, and he received 36.5 confirmed kills, 14.5 [...]

Here is my first entry for 2019.
This is 1/32 Tamiya P-51D Mustang with the markings of “Butch Baby” flown by Joseph Broadhead, Commander of 362nd FS, 357th FG, March 1945.
Cockpit modified with Barracudacast resin seat, Yahu [...]
What a classic! One of my all time favorite airframes built during WWII. This model was so much fun I lost track of time. I even added some photoetching to the flight deck. I have the history on this plane but I’m not one two write a [...]
This was a fun build OOB except decals. I ordered the aftermarket decals from scalehobbyist.com. Not a single problem with it either.
