The wages of writing :-)
So, some of you may have noticed over at the Eduard website that they have an actual historian writing their Wildcat history (with more to come). That would be yours truly, who was asked by Vlad if I would do that, and said [...]
Mustang Mk III
This is the aircraft of No. 315 Polish Sqn Ldr Horbaczewski post D-Day. He had 16 total kills with 5+1 sh in the Mustang. - this is the Revell P-51D kit converted with Trumpeter spine and Aerocraft [...]
Tamiya 1:48 P51-D Mustang kit
This is a kit that almost puts itself together. Fine Tamiya quality as usual with good decals. About 20 hours to paint and assemble using Testors spray and bottle paints. Instructions are easy to follow. I used Tamiya extra thin cement [...]
Arma Hobby 1/72 F-6C Reconnaissance Mustang
I can state with great confidence, this is the most detailed kit I’ve ever built in 1/72 scale. Somehow, the designers at Arma Hobby have figured out a way to make a 1/48 scale cockpit fit into a 1/72 scale model. The airframe, as well, [...]

Mustang IV. 19 Sqn. RAF. Late 1944.
Being a birthday present, this kit just had to be made carefully & not rushed. Well that certainly was the case here, as it's been on the bench for over twelve months, while I did extensive research. I was put off by the need to do a [...]
Airfix 1/48 RAAF P-51 Mustang
Airfix 1/48 P-51 in RAAF livery. Kit is built out of box with an added photo etched lap belt. It is a nice kit overall but the landing gear is a little flimsy. I used Vallejo paints and did weathering with artist oils, thinned acrylics, [...]
