Academy 1/72 P-51B Mustang
My own D-Day Group Build contribution (an RAF Mustang Mk. III) suffered serious production delays, but at least I can contibute to the Anniversary celebration with some freshly taken photos of one of my older models.

Building my collection of General Scott's aircraft
I am well into building a collection of General Robert Scott's aircraft. He is probably the only aviation icon I have met in person, so this has been my motivation to start this project. All will be in 48th scale.
That last headline is a hard act to follow…
Reading that obituary gave me even greater respect for those heroic men who flew these in wartime.
Here is my second model plane in 40 years, a P-51D built from the 1/48 Revell 'Big Beautiful Doll' kit #85-5241. I included to in progress [...]
The major George Preddy “Cripes A Mighty 3rd” P-51 D-5- NA paint and assembly

I present you my last built... the kit is amazing but i had some trouble with my paint. I would do the Major Preddy plane between august and september 1944. The plane bears the scars of his fights and aluminum coating lost its luster [...]

I was watching "Checkertails Parts 1 & 2- a Documentary by Neil "Mysticpuma" Pugh, on YouTube. It was a very [...]
P-51D “Frenesi” from Dragon 1/32 “Early Production” kit...
This is the 2nd 1/32 P-51 I have done, first was the Hasegawa kit, which I did as the famous “Millie G” of the 55th Fighter Group. I was not entirely happy with the result, and probably will not post it on iModeler.
I had read the [...]
P-51D 55th FG, 343FS Flown by Capt. Robert E. Welsh (6 victories)
This is a Monogram 1/48 P-51 that I built in 1976. This is just one of many Monogram Mustangs that I have built over the years. All things considered the Monogram kit is still one of the best for overall outline and quality and was [...]
P-51D Mustang 1/72
This is an old Airfix kit that I put together some years ago and tested some weathering techniques on it. The kit and its detail is not so good, but I was happy with the result of the weathering and the worn look of it.
I gave it a base [...]
