Previously built Stangs

Post by Gregers »

Please post up previously built model Mustangs. Feel free to do so even if you are not in the group build.

All the best.

I haven't built a P-51 for about 15 years. In fact, since I did these:


Image

This was for the Planes of Fame at Grand Canyon, where I used to work. Also did one of the Bf109, with an equally large number of models.

Front Row, L-R:

P-51 Prototype, converted from Accurate Miniatures Mustang I
Mustang I, Accurate Miniatures
A-36, Accurate Miniatures
P-51, Accurate Miniatures
P-51A, Accurate Miniatures

Middle Row, L-R
P-51B/Mustang III, Accurate Miniatures
P-51C, Accurate Miniatures
P-51D, Monogram
P-51D, ?? (I didn't build this one)
P-51D, Monogram
P-51D, Monogram

Back Row, L-R
P-51D, Monogram
P-51D, Monogram
P-51D, Arii
P-51H, converted from Monogram
F-82, Modelcraft

The Accurate Miniatures kits were, of course, excellent, but the Monograms were a bit of a pig - they date from the late 60's...(They were bought for me, as I would never have chosen to build it!). A fun project, but, as I say, I haven't built a Mustang since...........

Here is my motley collection of Mustaches:

Academy version of P-51B 'Old Crow' from a few years ago. Louis mullered the prop in the 'day of infamy'. He must have hated the decal invasion stripes, too. Boy's got taste . . .

This was my first build when i got back into model building. I paid a $1 for it and that was too much. That said it provided a test bed for my airbrushing.
