Mustang Build starts Feb 1 2015 - July 31 2016

I have you down John, welcome.

Steve, I'm officially in now:

I've done a few of these in the past and it's a solid, trustworthy build. With my 'planned' paint scheme, she'll be a short build. I should get to this sunday, IF I get that beast of a Hind done!!

Ah yes, "Old Crow" Captain Clarence Emil, "Bud" Anderson flew 116 sorties with the 362nd FS of the 357th Fighter Group, scoring 16.25 victories.

P-51 Aces

P-51 Facts

2012 kit. That should be a really nice build. You deserve one my friend. I'll update the roster.

I had a brief moment of inspiration there...I almost could have crossed over with this one to the Aces GB..BUT..the rule there is u need a pilot and this kit doesn't have one ...still..I may have a pilot in my spares box..gonna check

Yeah,  Ken doesn't care.  Just some generic guy will do. Seated or otherwise.

Nah..not a good enough pilot fig for that build..SO..I'm gonna keep with my original idea...she, unfortunately, won't be Old Crow..

Well here she is-  Got all the parts for the "K", but not the decals.  The little bags in the last pic are metal prop blades and the metal ends for the wing clip.

Looks like that's gonna be a sharp build Goldhammer...good choice!

That looks like it's going to be a really cool build Goldhammer. I am really going to enjoy watching it come together. Miss America is one of my favorite racers. That and Rare Bear.

This thread has moved to the Group Build forum.

" Anything with the moniker of “Mustang” "    Would you would not accept an A-36 Apache?  I would guess not... But I found an AM 1/48 on CraigsList for $5 still sealed. If it's still available, I thought about picking it up

" Anything with the moniker of “Mustang” "    Would you would not accept an A-36 Apache?

Ah yes, the A-36 Apache or Invader, dive bomber. The grandfather of the Mustang. Well of course my friend, I'll accept that as an entry.
It's the spirit of the "Mustang" I'm looking for here. Some guys are building Ford Mustang funny cars, they aren't really Mustangs anymore, just a fiberglass body that looks something like a mustang. Nothing original remains under that fiberglass.

Do you want me to put you down?

Also the thread has moved to here. Mustang Build.

Ok, right after I saw this I ran across a P-51 Twin Mustang on eBay for $8 so I have to do one now! I will build the F-82B TWIN MUSTANG by MODELCRAFT in 1/48 scale! I even learned they changed the designation to F-82, never knew that. This will be unique for me and a lot of fun. Can't wait to see everyone else's!

Mongoose,

I'll put you down. I heard that kit a bit of a challenge. I actually was thinking of getting one of those to try myself. I love Mustangs.

See you over there.
