North American P-51 Mustang

Tamiya 1/48 P-51 Mustang

This is the well known Tamiya P-51D Mustang. Although not the latest Mustang kit, I think it’s still a great model. It went together without any fit problems and required no filler. The cockpit doesn’t have much detail, but little of [...]

1/48 Halberd Piper Enforcer 1971

The Enforcer was the brainchild of David Lindsay, founder of Florida based Cavalier Aircraft in the late 60’s - early 70’s. He envisioned developing heavily modified surplus P-51D's for counter-insurgency purposes, hoping to land a [...]

Tamiya 1:48 N.A. P-51D Kit #61040 (1995)

Another boring Tamiya. This one used another option from the Lifelike decal sheet (two to go). This aircraft was used by Capt. "Don" Gentile during a state-side war bounds tour, at Wright Patterson Field, 1945. I believe he used [...]

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 [...]

Review: Eduard 1/48 P-51B/C (w/dorsal fin)Li'l Kitten of the 357th FG

During September, 1943, rumors abounded among pilots in the fighter groups regarding things to come. Word of the first flight of the P-51B in Los Angeles spread through the world of Air Force fighter pilots like wildfire. When Chesley [...]

Accurate Miniatures F6B Tac Recce Mustang

Although not quite a gem as I initially perceived (read TC's comment), Accurate Miniature's recce Mustang is a nice build. Removal effects of the invasion stripes are the focal point of the model.

A Pair of Mustangs

These photographs are from my latest builds, two P-51 D Mustangs. I included the two articles about the P-51D Mustangs and their pilots. I built each model in 1/48 scale. The first Mustang is from Hobby Boss. The kit is No. 85806 and it is [...]

A Story of a Thoroughbred - N13Yankee

THE THOMPSON TROPHY RACE was part of the National Air Races, held each Labor Day weekend in Cleveland, Ohio. The Thompson race was a closed-course, unlimited air race sponsored by the Thompson Products, Inc. of Cleveland. Prior to WWII, [...]

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Mustang I

This kit is not easy to assemble like the Tamiya's four blade counter part. The old Aeromaster "Early Mustangs" decal sheet enabled me to immerse in a forgotten, but colorful corner of the P-51 history.

Review: Eduard P-51B 2 seat "hack" (conversion)

Once the P-51D with its bubble canopy providing 360-degree visibility started showing up in VIII Fighter Command units in the summer of 1944, the days of the P-51B were numered, despite most pilots acknowledging the earlier Mustang had [...]
