Bud's other "Old Crow" – Airfix P-51D

by Tom Cleaver on July 13, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I realized just now that I never posted a full article on Bud Anderson's other "Old Crow," the P-51D-15 he flew during his second tour with the 357th. I did this with the Airfix 1/48 P-51D when it came out back in 2015. I had the [...]

The currently "Miss Hellen" adorned Mustang started its operational career in Bodney Norfolk and was assigned to the 487th Fighter Squadron of the 352nd Fighter Group of the Eight AF in April 1945. After being in storage, it was [...]

1/48 Eduard P-51D Mustang Tales of Iwo Jima VLR

by Dan Lee on April 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

The P-51D Mustang is more famous for combat in Europe, but was also used in the Pacific near the end of WW2. After the capture of Iwo Jima by the USMC, the US Army Air Force and USN Seabees worked on turning it into a giant fighter and [...]

Tamiya P-51D, 'Petie 2nd', John C. Meyer.

by Colin Latta on April 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is the Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as John C. Meyer's "Petie 2nd". Typical of Tamiya, easy assembly and a nice fit. The only weak points are the wheel well not going back to the spar, and a prop that is too wide and [...]

1/48 P-51 D, 'Miss Marilyn II'

by Colin Latta on April 5, 2024 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is the early ICM (Tamiya knockoff) 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as "Miss Marilyn II". As an early ICM kit, there were a number of challenges, HUGE sink marks, short shots, incorrect detail parts copied from other kits, and a [...]

P-51D-20 Mustang "Delta Queen", Iwo Jima 1945

by Martin Dytrych on March 6, 2024 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Guys, I think this is a bit surprise for my friends here as they were following my Hellcat build in WIP section. I needed break. I just got to the point when I eager to build something without waiting for 3D model... Therefore I pull out [...]

Tamiya 1/32 P-51D

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on December 28, 2023 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

A great kit. Engine wires and plumbing sources are marked to ease construction. However, the busy wheel well is relatively barren. Hence, it is up to the builder to complete the missing plumbing.

Red Tails P-51Ds: Eduard's model conundrum

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on October 7, 2023 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Eduard's offerings in recent years of 1/48th scale WWII fighters are candidates to be the best models in the scale. I find that the sublime plastic surface texture and the plethora of colorful scheme options are tempting when considering a [...]

Revell 1/32 P-51D 5NA Mustang

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on January 6, 2023 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

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

by Louis Gardner on December 25, 2022 · in Aviation · 57 ≡

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 [...]
