P-51A Slick Chick Finished!

NMF paint looks  a tad rough, and the canopy frame painting looks rather rough as well, but other than that it looks like a nice build. Well done.

Yeah I know it's a bit rough... One of the reasons I'm not bragging about it. I was stupid, I used a cheap black spraypaint instead of krylon. I think maybe next time i'll just paint some gloss black and cover it with future. Oh well, it's my first try with Alclad... it'll just give me another excuse to build another one!!

Nice looking P-51A. The early mustangs look just as sleek as their younger siblings. I think you did a very nice job depicting the one in the B&W pic.

Nice paint scheme too with the red spinner and white tail.

Sorry to hear about the bad paint, other than that she looks like a nice build

All in all, nice job. Especially for the first time using Alclad (great stuff, eh?). I like the subject matter and it's tie to OH. Plus it's a great little kit. Are you going to give it siblings in the B,C and D versions? The decals settled in real nice.

Nice job overall!

Mucker, I plan on building every version of the mustang to ever fly. So there will be about 15 other planes to go along with this one...
P-51, A, B, C, D, H, K
Mustang Mk. I, Ia, II, III, IV (any more?)
F-6A, B, C, D
So I've got a lot on my plate
