This is the Planes of Fame P-51A Mustang, in the markings of "Mrs. Virginia" of the 1st Air Commando Group; the original was flown by their legendary commander, Colonel Phil Cochran. Phil and the Air Commandos were immortalized [...]
P-51H Mustang, RS Models 1/72
My favourite pony in my favourite scale from my current favourite short run company. About three days work. Primed with Mr Surfacer 1000 to spot flaws and work that still needs doing.
“Spam Can” in her new incarnation at Chino today
Every few years, Planes of Fame repaints "Spam Can" (the world's oldest continuously-licensed P-51D, since 1957) to represent a famous P-51. She is now in the markings of the 506th Fighter Group, one of the VLR Mustang groups [...]
Revell 1/25 #4 JPS Mustang
The John Player Special (JPS) paint scheme has been around for a long time. I always found it attractive, but what I didn't know was that it came in black/yellow, as well as black/gold. At the time of the Youtube video, this was one [...]
1/72 Hasegawa P-51B/C Mustang
A semi fictitious P-51 out of the Hasegawa Mustang Mk.III 'RAF Combo' kit. Wanted to build Henry Brown's The Hun Hunter' Texas but couldn't find any after market decals so robbed these from an Aeromaster Debden Jugs Pt.III set. Lt Duane W. [...]

RAF Mustang III 1/48 Tamiya.
Well this my second posting the Mustang III, done in natural finish.
The kit went together as any Tamiya kits do. The wings were a tight fit but hardly any filler used any where,. Had a bit if a nightmare with the colour scheme, I was [...]

Mustang madness @ Chino – more A2A
Two of the Chino P-51s, back about 10 years ago.
"Susie" is now in a different scheme, but this variation on "Snooks VII" looks pretty nice. I think I was in Bob Lewis' Cessna 172, which is why Steve Hinton had to drop [...]
