Tamiya P-51D "Fighting Lady" in progress

[JohnB]

I've been working on this one for 4-5 weeks now. I am building it without all the "fiddly" toy hinges, etc. I hope it will go well with another 506th a/c I built a couple of years ago that has a yellow tail.

Made some progress on painting. Next will be the wings.

Nice work John! Keep em coming!

Time to start applying decals. I applied several coats of Alclad Gray Primer and a bit of Liquitex modelling medium with sanding with several grades of sand paper between coats to reduce the rivets on the wings.

Looking great, think I will do a Mustang sooner or later.

Looks great John. Makes me want to start mine. Have the decals for George Preddy's mount.

Thanks Paul. It's a really good kit. Here's a link to my post of the finished model.
