Splash's P-51B Mustang ***Finished***
It's a wet Bank Hoilday Monday here in the UK so what's a modeler supposed to do?
Only one thing for it, start another blitz.
This time with the PM 1/48 SIAT Flamingo, at £2.99 you can't expect much, low part count and minimal cockpit detail, which should make it a good blitz build.
I'm going to start about 15:00 uk local.

Re: Splash's Siet Flamingo
Always find the time to watch a PM kit being built, watching with interest.
Wet Bank holiday? is there any other kind?

Re: Splash's P-51B Mustang started
If it's the bottom half the wing missing, and you're careful with camera angles, well ....

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Brews, If we are going to set a Blitz record now we may as well do it with a sledgehammer as opposed to a toffee hammer.

Re: Splash's P-51B Mustang started
Could not find the other Flimingo so I have started the Mustang, as usual its a nice litle kit with fine detail and shock a cockpit with dials.
Progress has been quick I'm at the waiting for paint to dry stage before I start masking the white bands.

Looks like this kit has some decent detail to it.
