1/48 p51

A old revell kit. Trying something different. I have alot of aircraft builders so I can get all the help I need. And boy do I need help on aircraft.

G’day Bruce, I’m an old aircraft modeller, ( before l jumped to cars ). I’m a fan of the P51, so I’m on board with this one. 👍🏻

Ohh I am gonna enjoy this! Love the P-51, hot rod of the skies!

I hope I can do the p51 justice. I’m not an air craft builder. This will be my 3rd aircraft. The p51 in the background is a tamiya 1/72. The second build was a fisher Pitts bi- plane. Somehow that plane took 3rd at the Las Vegas IPMS nationals. I scribed the panel lines and sanded the wings smooth. Sanded the bomb- gas supports off and filled in the machine gun holes, and where ther 50 caliber shells eject. Fitting the two haves together,sanding them even before I glue the two halves together. I was told to do this to eliminate more work later. Here is a pic of my bi- plane. Thanks for the comments.

Great subject matter Bruce.......have you ever been to the National Air & Space museum at the Dulles airport?   If not, well worth the trip. cheers, tim

First of all, that Pitts Bi-Plane looks stellar Bruce. Secondly, your placing at a Nationals show speaks for itself. A big congratulations on the win there. 

I'll be looking forward to seeing what you'll be doing with the classic kit. I've built a couple of Monogram P-51's waaaay back when and can't wait till I get to tackle the Tamiya P-51 that I've got in the stash. Those are supposed to be an absolute dream to build.
