That is one beauty of a P-51 you have turned out. Excellent work indeed. Always nice to score bonus booty on a kit buy. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice...I like the color scheme and the open gun bay details help set her off. I too, always paint D-Day stripes and never use the decals.

 

Keep having fun!

Cheers,

Martin :)

Those are the best kind of deals. Not to long ago I got a Hasegawa 109 G-2 on ebay cheap and the box was found to be full of uber-expensive Cutting Edge extras!. Almost passed out. Oh and the P-51 is beautiful. Thanks for sharing...

Nice detail there.  I paint the stripes too, the decals are always a pain.

Actually dropped on a real EBay bargain. The seller advertised as the kit "plus extras"

I messaged to see what was included and he confessed to not being a modeller and just had a picture with a load of bags! The rest of his items looked like he was a house-clearance specialist. It came with the resin egine, gun bays, loads of extra stencil decals , cockpit placards and two sets of canopy masks. 

The good bit was i got the lot for £25!!! 

The sad bit was that the instructions had some "annotatons" on them in what certainly looked like an elderly man's handwriting...possible I completed some chap's last purchase...

That's sweet. I do think invasions stripes are better when painted on, the decals are just to neat.

My latest build, turned out not too bad at all for my first attempt at some "opening up"

The inavsion stripe decal were next to useless so I did them myself.
