Nothing to fear about juggling multiple builds. Big Smile

Much less stressful than juggling chainsaws. Yes

Look forward to seeing how this one develops.

Revell 1/32 P-51D-5NA Mustang - Work in progress
Posted by Nikola on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 2:27 AM

Hi gents,

 

As I have finally built up enough courage to start multiple builds for the first time (at the moment I'm just finishing a 1/48 Mirage IIIC and building HB's easy assembly 1/48 P-51D), I have also decided to build my first 1/32. Being a sucker for a Mustang, I have chosen Revell's P-51D-5NA for my debut on the 1/32 stage. This will be a practice build for Tamiya's pony waiting in the stash, which would really be a shame to mess up! It would be a shame to mess this one up as well, but not guaranteed! :)

 

This time I'm also using aftermarket goodies for the first time - Eduard Look IP and seatbelts - so this should be fun. :)

 

 

I will probably opt for 363 Fighter Sqn., 357 Fighter Group, 8 AF B6-B ''Desert Rat'' (Cpt. Herschel Pascoe), 1944 - OD over grey.

 

Prior to purchasing the kit I've read good things about it and it should be a fun build. One of the good things is that the wings are full span top and bottom which should ensure correct dihedral with no problem. 

 

I have decided from now on to try and always have one 1/32 on my bench at any time, stretching the build for as long as it takes, as I will be building other smaller ones along the way. We'll see how it goes. 

 

This will be a loooong build so only the most patient will survive! :)

 

Anyway, nothing much at the moment except the ''opening credits''...

 

Thanks for looking guys!

 

 

Best,

Nikola
