Tamiya 1/32 P 51 Mustang

[cobraman]

Just finished . Had some issues but got it done . Not the best example of the finished kit . I did make some errors . I chose to do it with wheels up . Less work true but I think the plane looks best when flying . All Tamiya paints and I tried to follow the color call outs the best I could . I did omit some of the tiny decals of which there were many . Now where to put it ! This will be my last airplane .  Thanks for looking .

Great job.  I have been tempted as I am a car builder to build that kit.  Very nice presentation.

Finished out very nicely Ray, great job?

[Brudda]

Great job Ray !!!! Just traded for this kit. The mustang is a Great War bird. I noticed there is alotta stuff in this kit. Yours came out great!!!!

There is soooo many tiny pieces which were a bit tough for me to deal with .  Bruce , guess what my next kit will be ?   You know . It’s because of you I bought it . Been calling to me for several months .

And you thought there were a lot of tiny parts on the 1/32 Mustang!

[cobraman]

I still do !?

[happy grumpy]

Turned out really good. I remember when I was doing almost only airplanes, the mustang was one of my favorite subjects along with the Corsair. Great color scheme.

Thank you Mario.

Great job on one awesome aircraft. I’ve recently picked up four WW2 birds to add to my vehicle stash. I going for all 1/48 scale in my collection for space saving.

Your build has given me inspiration to get started.

[cobraman]

Cobra time!!!!!

[cobraman]

Yes Bruce, it is Cobra time ! I have not had a lot of time lately to work on it much but try to here and there. Not sure if you read my post of the Cobra and the terrible chrome on the side pipes. I have decided to strip them and paint them white. I must say given the cost of the kit I was disappointed to say the least but we modelers have to deal with problems all the time so I will march forward. Slowly but forward !

Awesome job looks nice 

[slusher]

Great build, Ray!

[ewetwo]

Hey Ray. I didn't know you were into planes? Looks great!

 

[cobraman]

Thank you all very much. 

[TooOld]

Well done Ray , that's one sharp looking Mustang !  Never would have known it was missing decals if you hadn't said anything .  I always wanted  to give this kit a try but haven't because I have no space for it !

[cobraman]

Thanks Bob. I was able to get in one of my cabinets as long as it was on the stand so cars could still be underneath .
