My only gripe is that the engine bay required some modification to allow the cowls to fit correctly.

I'm glad it wasn't just me.  These had me shaking my head. Very un-Tamiya-like.  Nice work on Wetmore's ride. Turned out great..

Stupendous! Really like your weathering, especially the fuel spills.

 

Thank you. Thought it was a bit risky to weather it so much especially with the fuel spills. I dont see many P-51s weather very much though

Great modeling.  One restored in these markings is in Sacramento and I visit now and then.

Outstanding! Isn't that a great kit? Build, paint, markings and weathering all look fabulous. Nice photos too. Congrats. 

 

Thank you!

And probably the best kit i ever built. My only gripe is that the engine bay required some modification to allow the cowls to fit correctly.

Tamiya 1:32 P-51D Daddy's Girl
Posted by B-1 CrewCheif on Monday, April 6, 2020 12:32 AM

Here is my finished project.

Tamiya 1:32 P-51D in the markings of Daddy's Girl

This was an amazing kit to build and i have to say my best build yet. Hope you all enjoy.

Some description of what i used.

I replaced the kit instrument panel with a Eduard Look one. Also used HGW fabric seat belts and resin dingy. Painted with K kolors Aluminum, Tamiya mix for the bright green nose and MRP for everything else.
