Oh yay it is up!

I will be enterering with two P-51s and a F-82. Will be starting mid May when I'm back from holiday, unless I've been kidnapped there!

Will rummage through the cabinet and take some pics of my built Mustangs.

Ready to go, will Build four Airfix new tools starting with an OOB build of a Dominican AF machine and then I think an Israeli Mustang followed by the Korean War aeroplane flown by Dean Hess, both using Esci decals. If there is time I will make the RAF machine as an OOB build.

I signed up & then forgot.

I'm in with a CBK, the FROG Mustang II, built quickly OOB except for decals.

Hey Dirk. Watch the squadron codes on this one.

They are not OS as given but YF.

Thanks for the info Jeff. I'll have to see if I can locate the correct codes somewhere.

One of my friends, who grew up around Birmingham when the local Air Guard unit flew RB-26 Invaders at tree top level, mentioned that the F-51Ds had the panel lines in the wings filled with putty, buffed out and painted so there should be no panel lines on the wings. According to him, it was due to the laminar wing and improved the lift. Does anybody have any information on which panels were filled in?

Thanks

Hi Chuck.
I have heard the same. iirc it was all except the gun bays that were filled.

All the best.

Hope everybody is ready. Looks to be some hard chargin' horses at the gate.

I certainly am, the sprues for my four models are washed, ready and waiting for midnight for a little pre-assembly painting before morning.
