Thank you Harv!😄

Finished with this one! https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/18803-revell-p-51-racer-69-done/

I got started on this build a while back but set it aside until I could locate some thin black line decals. Luckily I was able to find some on the Microscale site. 1/64 was just right for the trim along the fuselage stripe so now I've been able to complete the model. I used my computer to make the #69 and printed it out on my laser printer. I painted the model with Tamiya acrylic gloss white. The stripes are Xtracolor FS14092 medium green which, I think, matches the color on the real a/c very well. I'm very pleased with the model and I hope y'all will like it too. Please remember to click on the 1st photo for best resolution, etc. THANKS!

Thanks. I'm glad they had the size I needed.

Thanks Peter. I'm liking it!

Yes. A unnecessary PITA.

My feelings also Kevin.

Thanks Harv. This should be a very nice looking model when done.

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!!!
