ANG P-51 RFI

[JohnB]

Finished with this one. I decided to build this model as a post war Air National Guard a/c. Something a little different from all those WW II birds. After market items are FineMolds belts and Barracuda wheels. I went to my decal stash to come up with all the needed markings. Nearly all are pieced together from various sheets and re-sized as needed on my computer. Painted with Alclad. I like the way it turned out and I hope you do too. 🙂 

I decided to add the last 2 photos to show it's not quite as SHINY as the first ones posted. LOL 🙄

Cool looking plane. I especially like that picture with light from certain angle to reveal rivet details🧐. Amazing👍

Nice work John! Beautiful finish. Nice to see an ANG aircraft . Just makes me think of

a time when Mustangs were regularly flying over the USA. Must have been cool to see.

Thank you Paul. 🙂 Those days are long gone except for the restored birds that still fly. I was fortunate to fly with Jeff Ethell in "Baby Duck" some years ago so am happy to be able to say I have a little P-51 time in my old log book. 🙂
