Tamiya 1:32 P-51D Mustang 'Passion Wagon'

[Mish]

I built this one over Christmas/New Year 2011/12. The most expensive kit I had bout to date, one of the nicest and the one I was to make the most mistakes on

 

You will observe that after following the decal manufactures guide without looking at my own references I have religiously followed the guide and continued the invasion stripes too high thus forcing the Star and Bars

 

You will also see that on the underside I put the Star and Bars on upside down

 

I have been minded at times to strip the model and start again, but left as a reminder to check, check again and tripple check references and not to follow decaling guides.

lessons learned, ain't it great.   to learn from a mistake is important.  to admit a mistake is character.

 

regardless, a very nice build.  one of these days I will crack open a TamiyaStang.

Yeah we all make mistakes, that's a very nice looking build and finish in any case.

Not always easy to pull off.

Still a great looking Mustang! The finish and overall build look great.

Thanks guys, learnt a lot from this build.

[Dave J]

Looks great! I think I have a spare Star n Bar if you want one...

[Mish]

I've got one thanks Dave just never got around to replacing it and nobody ever sees the underside. Its the fuselage sides that are the glaring fault

[James H]

That's still a damn nice result. 

 

Such a great kit, and I prefer the Olive drab finish to the NMF too

[Mikester]

That's a good looking 'Stang, Mish!

Hi Paul, the decals are from Kits World Decals and since I built this kit and spoken with them they have updated and corrected their artwork.
