Bolivian AF Cavalier F-51D done

[JohnB]

All done with this one. I used a Tamiya P-51D kit with the Halberd Cavalier F-51 conversion set to make this Bolivian AF F-51D. The only after market item was a new rear seat from my stash of unused parts and of course the supplied Halberd stuff. Painted with Mr. Color, Compucolor, and Testor's. I replaced the Halberd rocket stubs, which seem to be a bit over size, with some from my stash of unused parts. I decided to keep the a/c "clean" with no weathering. I hope y'all like the results of my efforts.

Awesome build and so well done. Completely agree with Kev, that the scheme is unique and eye-catching.

Thank you Peter. I'm pleased it came out as well as it did and is such a eye catcher.

Agreed Peter. I intend for the next one to be in camo.

So nice to see an unusual non-military subject.  Clean, nice work!

I can smell the Testors from here.  Smells so good!

LOL.  I saw the white and clean paint job and knew it was post war.  Must've thought it was a racer!
