Number 5 for the year finished.
Number five for the year is done. It is also number six in my Mustangs of the World collection. I present to you Tamiya's venerable 1/72 P-51D in SAAF markings. The plane is from 2 Sqn, based at Chinhae (K10), and attached to the 18th FBG USAF in 1950. Decals are by AIMS Decals.
A pic of the actual aircraft.
Now for the build. Cockpit is ready.
I now have something that looks like a plane.
Put your mask on, there's going to be a paint fight.
Paint is on.
Now for decals. Two part roundels, fun.
Decals are done. Just need to hang the ordnance.
Stick a fork in her, she's done.
Tried to cover up a couple of places where the paint for the antiglare panel and pass it off as weathering but didn't quite pull it off. Normally don't hang things on the wings, forgot how fiddly these things are. Really liked the AIMS Decals. There are two, possibly three more builds for The Forgotten War GB on it.
