YesYes Nice!!! Where do you get your metal tubing?

 
 
I think I bougt it from small parts dot com several years ago.
I believe they have since moved to amazon.
I believe this is the stuff:

Now it's full steam ahead on the Razorback. Putting the guns in this week. Just got the canopy all blended in the fuselage last week. After the guns are in, things should go pretty fast. Still deciding on markings. I am starting the think it would be a good idea to choose markings/plane names based on the modelers experience building the the kit... So for the P-47, I may mark it up as "Miss-behave" of the 78th FG. And the Next Monogram P-51 will probably get the markings of "Double Trouble" form the 353rd FG Stick out tongue

Don Stik & other members of the familia.  I present my two year (or is it three?) over-due P-51D:

No Resin here. Only AMbits is the rear canopy which is squadron vac job. I stole the sway braces from George Preddy's Hasegawa mustang kit. Filled all open panels. Rescribed. Gave it new guns and did major surgery on the spinner.  Had a post-decal masking malfunction with the nose art; however, it looks like it's naturally peeled off paint. I have a replacement on the way to fix it. I would leave it this way if the rest of the a/c looked similarly beat up!  Oh yea, Only decals are the nose art, prop stencils and the kill markings--all else was painted on.

MV, it has been nearly three years. This one finished up nearly two years ago now... time flies.

And I must say that it is really great to see such intereat and enthusiasm for these kits and an Episode IV. I think late summer may be a good time?

 

 

 

 

 

With all this interest, you may want to try to find a way to start it sooner.

Agreed.....Stik is THE Don.  Hope he doesn't mind.  LOL!

those monogram drop tanks are just not useable! 

 

 

Blasphemy!!! INFIDEL!!!

Wink

 

 

One of the tanks has the filler cap on the wrong side.  I kept the good one to use with a future kit and used fine wire to make shackles.  The wrong part could be used, but I don't think the effort to switch the plumbing, or the gas cap, over is worth it.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

My P-51D is almost done. I just have to scrounge up some sway braces since I am not attaching drop  tanks--those monogram drop tanks are just not useable! Actually, I think I can steal some from a Hasegawa P-51D in my stash... After that I just need to touch up some blemishes in the paint job...

It's curbside, but you know sometimes thats OK. This one will be a "finish quality" one. Haven't built a real custom car model in a long time.

Or as we say in Cali, a Kustom Kar.
