Chip's Pair of Aces***Finished***

That is the landing light and it retracts up and down as the landing gear lowers.

Thank you very much.

Couple of CBK's there mate, I remeber them from way back, youre doing a great job.

[Molly-new]

Cheers Mark.

Both have now been primed and started to get a bit of colour on them

The P51D is all over silver with a blue nose:



The P51B has a silver bottom with green top (which is still wet in the photo):



although I have used HU30 as per the instructions I think it looks too dark so once dry I will overspray with a coat of Olive to match my P47-D Thunderbolt from the Wild Weather GB.

[Molly-new]

All the painting (including the inevitable touch up's) is now complete:



My next step will be to decal the P51B and get that one completed before tackling the P51D.

Looking good Chip.

[Molly-new]

Managed to complete the first one.

P51B has had the decals applied, I just need to do a coat of matt varnish and unmask her to complete it.

[Chris]

Looks great.

[Molly-new]

Second one now complete.

P51B Mustang as flown by Henry Brown, 354th Fighter Sqn., 355th Fighter Group, USAAF 8th Air Force:





The decals were slightly out of register for this one, which is annoying and something I may deal with at a later date.

Thats great work there Chip, I especially like the paint job on the Hun Hunter from Texas, well done mate.

[jssel]

Very sharp article. Well done.

[ShaunW]

Great work Chip, a couple of very nice looking 'Stangs there.

[Sissel]

They both look great, Chip. I especially like your P-51B in those colors.
