Does this sound familiar to anyone ?
I ask for one good reason .( gees ,I hope I got the number right ) .This kit is a whole herd of Cats Meows ! I know , I know tell us please ? okay .My Son wanted to get Dad a kit from way Back in his ( Dad's ) Childhood. He did .The 1/32 P-51 Clear Mustang with turning Prop,Working Landing Gear ,Dropping Bombs and Control Stick !
Oh , My Gosh You could've knocked me over with a feather when I opened this nice purple fabric Bag , Tied in a Red ribbon with a Birthday card from him , curtousy of Amazon ! This Kit was Number two to build on my Bucket List ! ! T.B.
What you've got there, Tank-Builder, is a Monogram Phantom Mustang! Kit #850067. I've built several over my lifetime plus the solid version with no interior structure.
I see them at hobby shows once in a while. They can be pretty pricey due to their rarity.
Kudos to your son!
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
This is the "solid" version: Kit #PA77-198, 1962.
Yeah, I did that one in the sixties my self. I never have done the clear one. I could not see a reason for doing one that way. Of course I was just a silly teen kid then.
I have that kit, but no real desire to build it.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I have the clear "phantom" stang in my stash as well. Not sure when or even if it will get staged to build.

FotoFrank ;
I thank You .But Please call me Tanker - Builder .We don't want anyone to be confused . I build Ships Mostly .Especially lately , ones that carry Beer ! T.B.
Hi FotoFrank and all'You all .
Thanks for the replies . I guess he got the idea from another plane I built .Anyone have the " Tamiya ? or Hasegawa ? Clear M.E.262 .? I did one about two years ago .All the plumbing is inside both engine cowls and the Fuselage .Including the Mechanicals for the guns . I painted parts of it as per the Box Cover but left most Clear . The Instrument panel was produces by creating a new one out of P.E colored scraps from other Planes .
Never had so much fun in me life .That's why I think I started Boat and Ship cut-aways too ! Revell's German U-Boot ( Gunther prien's Boat ) had me figuring out how to create a clear cover for the exposed side so the inside could be seen But , The hull looked complete ! . Got it done and went back and started a Coast Guard Cutter that way and on the old bench ( not where I work now ) stands a Titanic with cut-aways all over her . Especially the Second class and Third class spaces as well as the engine rooms and holds .
I keep checking out this book that has the Cut-Away pictures and the Librarian thinks I have an obsession with the Ship !LOL. T.B.
