John, your "first finished" for 2022 are terrific. I especially like the "Snoopers" F-6B. A couple of years ago I built an F-6B wearing Invasion Stripes. These Accurate Miniatures Allison Mustangs are nice kits. I have a few up in the closet including a "Snoopers" kit that I will be building as a tribute to 1Lt. Dean Gilmore.

I'll also be building an Accurate Miniatures P-51B to portray the airplane Lt. Gilmore was flying the day he crashed into Lake Louisa near Clermont, FL and lost his life.

Great builds, John. Thanks for sharing.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

Tempestjohnny, your first two builds of 2022 look awesome.  You're doing way better than me, I have three kits in progress but none completed yet.  Those Accurate Miniatures kits were great kits in their time.  I think that I still may have a A-36 Apache kit in the stash.

Beautiful work. I've often thought about picking up one of those Accurate Miniature 51's. Glad to hear they are great kits.
