North American P-51 Mustang

Bodney Blue Nose

Bought back around '91 and been with me ever since. This is an original issue Hasegawa 1:48 P-51D which I started just two-and-a-half weeks ago as a side-build to my Tamiya 1:48 F-14. Also served as a test-bed for new (to me) metallic [...]

1/32 P-51D Mustang Tamiya 60322

This is my attempt to build Tamiya’s 1/32 P51 Mustang. The kit was given to me by my friends for my 50th birthday (thanks again guys!). My first plane in a natural metal finish, and it fought me until the end, probably because of my lack [...]
