I've been out of the modeling loop for about a year now (due to lots of life changes.) I'd like to join this build by entering a 1/72 Airfix P/F-51D Mustang.Markings/scheme yet to be determined.

Cheers,Douglas

Douglas,

I got you down sir.

Jeremy,

I got you updated with this, I believe you wanted.

I don't believe I know #55. Was it an AT-6?

I don't believe I know #55.

#55 Voodoo Chile is a highly modified P-51D that races in Reno.  It is a multicolored paintscheme, mostly purple.

Yes, that P-51B that is at Warhawk is the basis for the kit I'm planning.  Fortunately, the aircraft in your picture is less than a mile from my house, so getting good reference shots will be pretty easy.

Where are you going to find the "Bee"? You going to make it, or are there decals for it?

The purple Voodoo? Yeah I know it. It won the Gold last year, if this is the one your talking about.

Yep that is the one I'm talking about.

There is an old Revell Kit that has these decals with it.  If I cant find the kit, I'll take a picture of the real one and make my own decals.  I may even end up buying the Barracuda decal sheet for the P-47 and use the "Bee" from that sheet.

For anyone who might be interested.  I was just informed, by someone in the industry, that Revell Germany is going to re-issue the 1/32 P-51B in February.  It is unknown at this time what decals will be coming with the kit or if it going to be re-tooled.  If/when I find out more I can post it here.

Opened the box and get instruction sheet for a "K" with funky invasion stripes and decal placement for one US and two RAF birds,  Got the correct decals though.  Hope they still have the sheet, but would be pretty close if not. Emailed them waiting to hear back.

5high-find my test pics thread,  the guys helped me a bunch.  Got to have an off site host like Photobucket or equivalent.

I'd like to join too.  Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Ridge RunnerIII.

Btw, I have a set of the Bee decals.  I'll have to look in the stash to see who makes them.

If it isn't too late I'd like to jump in with a Tamiya 1/48 P-51B "Miss Dallas" or "Ill Wind".

Hey Steve, I'm wondering the same thing. I have an old A-36 and a P-51A. I've only built P-51Ds and had thought about jumping in sometime this summer or fall with one or the other.

Steve...BOEING Build?? You, Sir, are a 'purveyor of a drug', and, that drug is GBs...AND, you, Sir, are doing nothing to help with my addiction!! Stick out tongueDevilGeekedCrying (any any other emotes you see fit, LOL) SO, of course, I'm in for a Boeing build...I've been wanting to do a B-17 for years...now, I have an excuse. Let me stew on this one, but, plz put me in for a TBD (thank goodness it's in June).

Has a thread been started, didn't see one. Wanna add to my favourites.

LOL, no buddy not yet. The patch is just a "place holder" I will put out a reminder thread in April.
The official GB will start on June 15 and run a year. June 15 2015 is the 99th anniversary of the first flight of Boeing's first airplane, the Model 1, and will obsessively end on the 100th anniversary.
I have a rough sketch of the interested parties, and there are several, so I will add you to it.

Here is the other patch we (Cody and I) will be offering.

Superb. I'll keep this one in mind. I've been also wanting to do a Chinook, so, that's an option as well.
