JohnB Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I plan to model the P-47D flown by Gabreski and Gladych, 56th FG using decals and info supplied in the AJ Press book 56th Fighter Group Pt.1. as my next build. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Great choice John, however I have never seen a photograph of Pengie 2. Mysterious plane for sure Cheers Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderowlands Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I remember asking Yahu a while back if they were doing a panel for the Trumpeter kit and they said yes and it would appear its about to be released though not showing on Hannants yet. One of the things I will aim to get when it comes time to tackle my Trumpeter Razorback. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should make a good looking model and it will be the only razorback jug in my collection in 1/32. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hold the phone guys! I've changed my mind. The P-47 goes back on the shelf for now. HobbyCraft P-51A is calling my name! Now that I've finished the P-51A I can get started on this kit. Still planning to do Pengie II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Good choice, I was always going to build mine as HV-B, “In the mood”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Lol, you will spend a lot more time building that P-51A than the trumpeter P-47 with five times more parts! I still have an A in the stash, but I remember the many hours of filling and sanding that kit! Although it did turn out nice! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 19, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 19, 2018 But the P-51A is so, so SO cool! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 19, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 19, 2018 One of the few models you can legitimately weather to within an inch of it’s life. They were flown until they literally fell apart. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I've built the A-36 and a "A" previously so I don't think there will be any surprises. I'll be using the VERY nice resin cockpit from Vector which really makes a big difference in the model. My eye is on the one on the cover of Dana's new book on USAAF colors. Very weathered! All geared up and ready for the Corsair Peter! I look forward to watching your build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 51A here a 47 there, whatever you build will be joy to watch the progress.........never built a 51A or B ........plenty of D’s.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Ok, stopped by to see you work your magic on a P-47 but the P-51A should be just as interesting. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of pics of RAF and AAF A’s on the flight line so beat up they look like parts should be falling off them. I know there was more than a few of them that just crapped out and fell apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Since there are a number of posts on this thread about the P-51A I think I will start a whole new thread for this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise not a bad looking kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
