ICM 1/48 P-51 Mustang: Nightmare NMF Project
This project took the joy out of model building which isn't good for my 6th build. The ICM kit was subpar by every standard. The instructions didn't include the paint scheme or decal layout for the box art version which is what I built. [...]
1:48 Eduard P-51 Mustang & FW-190 Dogfight Diorama
Prior to the whole pandemic kerfuffle I had an idea to build a dogfight diorama. I purchase the two Eduard Profi-PACK kits back in 2020 and promptly put them on the shelf until the time was right. After a little research I knew the Mustang [...]
Eduard 1/48 P-51D-5 Mustang "Nooky Booky II"
2nd kit of 2023- first time building an Eduard kit.
Overall it was a mixed experience, detail was amazing inside and out but definitely a level of "fiddliness" that was frustrating.
Some self inflicted wounds along the way as [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 F-6A Mustang
Everyone "knows" that the Mustang was the airplane designed and built in 120 days for the British because North American's Dutch Kindelberger didn't want to build Curtiss P-40s under license, and that the first Mustangs were a [...]
1/72 Arma Hobby P-51B Mustang. 3 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force. Fano, Italy 1945
Hi all.
There's not much to say about this kit other than it was an enjoyable build. I've read a few articles and seen a few build/review videos and I don't know what the issue was were that folks found. This thing fell together with the [...]
P-51D 1:72 Tamiya from Pacific. Luzon 1945.

What can you say about the Mustang model from Tamiya? A model from over twenty years ago, which I believe, defends itself very well today. After an exciting end of the year, I took up something simple and nice. Santa came out to [...]
A Pony with fangs! – 'Tex' Hill's P-51b, Kunming, China, 1945
This is ICM's 1/48 P-51b (Tamiya knockoff) kit with bazooka's and bombs robbed from an Airfix P-51d kit, a home vacuformed canopy, detailed cockpit, brass belts, and a partially scratchbuilt wheel wells.
Painted with Tamiya acrylics, [...]
Revell 1/32 P-51D 5NA Mustang
Tamiya's counterpart is superior with respect to details, fit of parts and surface texture. Yet, Revell's economic option looks equally good when completed.
I chose the olive drab overall finish to represent Lou IV and leave out any blue [...]
Christmas Day, 1944 ETO. Major George Preddy "Cripes-A-Mighty III" Revell 1/32 P-51D-5
Hello everyone. This build was done to pay respects to a man who gave his life on Christmas Day, 1944, in the name of freedom. His name was George Preddy, who was a Major in the US Army Air Corps. Tragically he was killed on this day [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Mustang completed.
This is the Tamiya Mustang P51B/C kit which I have just completed as a commission build, built from a photo the client had of the aircraft, which his father had flown at the end of the War. He wanted the aircraft to look suitably tired as [...]
