I'm going to go back to this build. It has been patiently sitting there waiting for me to get back to it. I had needed some thin black lines decals and found what I needed on the MicroScale site. 1/64 is just right. Look close at the closeup photo and you can see some that are already in place. If you will click on the photos the resolution will be much better.

I'm about to had enough of having to trim, fill and sand. The underside of the nose and the wing leading edges are the worse offenders and have a high cuss factor. The wings being the worse being harder to get to with the racks in place. I think I'll set this one aside (not the SOD) for a bit and find something else to build. 😐

LOL Chris! Yes, those Mustangs look the worse for wear and certainly not hot off the builder's floor. I want this build to be a nice, clean, shiny -51. 😀

I'm glad you like 'em, thanks!

It took me a while to figure out just what you are referring to but now I think I figured it out. You are referencing the photo of the -51's on the carrier deck. LOL Nope, no Quinta. Just kit parts, FineMolds seat belts and Barracuda decals.

Making some good progress on the cockpit.

Thank you Gaz.

Enlighten me on that Kevin.

LOL Kevin 😄 They are like rabbits! I've started to put some in storage boxes to give me more room plus keep the models from gathering dust, etc.

As I usually say, keep something "in progress" and the time goes by better. Especially at our age! 🤪

Yep. Some more than others.

LOL Carl. That's just the way I like to build 'em.

I have decided to build another Revell P-51D and likely do it as a "plain Jane" with no unit markings. Fresh off the factory floor. As you can see I like to get a lot of the parts painted early on which works well for me. I might change my mind about doing it as a "plain Jane" but we will see.

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Peter! 😀

Thank you Mark! 😀

Thanks Peter!!!

Thanks Jerry.

Thanks Dennis!!! Very much appreciated.

Thanks Chris! I'm pleased that you like it!

Thank you Carl. It was a fun build.

LOL Thanks Martin. I'm glad you like it.

All done with this build. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/18787-hasegawa-p-47d-finished/

Another one done! Essentially OOB except I replaced the kit guns with hollow tubing. Painted with Alclad for the NMF, Testor's Blue for the trim, and Mr. Color for the invasion stripes. It was a fun build and I hope y'all like it.

Thank you!. Coming right along.
