FINALLY COMPLETED (P-51 MUSTANG)

[john i am]

Hi everyone here's my offering of Airfixs 1/24 Mustang. Not the most pleasurable build to date but it's "done." I won't be getting the same kit anytime soon. Unfortunately I have a number 1/24 Airfix kits in my stash so I fear some exasperating times ahead. But it's been a great character building exercise and I've managed to resist throwing it against the wall on many occasion. I had to stick it on the back burner and attack it when I felt upto it. No more cold sweats at bedtime. On to the next one. More later................

Thanks for looking in and any comments left.
Cheers John

A good build from a not the best of kits and I have a couple of airfixs 1\24s awaiting the build bash sometime

You have done a great job with that old kit. Nice to see another Red Tail.
Might I suggest getting shot of those 1/24 Airfix via Ebay and getting some Trumpeter ones if you want 1/24 or, better still, have a bash at the Tamiya 1/32s for a real treat...

Looks really fine to me!!!
Smooth paintwork

You've made the best of an awful kit there. Very nice paint job. The wings look like they suffer the same droop problem as the Airfix 1/24 Spitfire.

All the hard work and effort has paid off as it looks nice.

My hat goes off to you John, you're made a silk purse out of a right pigs ear. Cracking job.

John, putting the short comings of the actual kit to one side, the paintwork is excellent.

Great result all round!
