My desk is fairly clear so I reckon I might try a two day blitz on a 1/72 P51A.

I also have a ship going, but there's quite a bit of downtime between stages at the moment, so I can start bright and early on Saturday morning. I also have a long holiday weekend, so I'm hoping for some good bench time. Both kits are pretty simple, so I ought to be able to baby blitz them over a week or so - I hope!

Can't find my NT Airfix 51D but I've found a Revell 51B instead. How I hate the colour coding by Revell. Why do they insist on 20% of this and 40% of that with another 30% of something else adding 10% of I've never heard of 
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

I know it says P-51 and all, but nobody explicitly said no just yet, so I must ask - Are twin-mustangs allowed?

Re: Sign-up and Chat
As far as I am aware, the twins were formed using standard P51 fuselages and wings (mostlySoftscience wrote:I know it says P-51 and all, but nobody explicitly said no just yet, so I must ask - Are twin-mustangs allowed?
), so I have no objection whatsoever to you doing a twin if you wish! Best wishes

Re: Sign-up and Chat
I'm giving some serious thought to doing another Mustang movie star - only this time in the markings of the other side!
It's a toss-up between a P-51A used in A Guy Named Joe:
or the Planes of Fame P-51A used in the film Aces: Iron Eagle 3:
Decisions, decisions....!

And as I am now aware (thanks Lancfan for the diplomatic 'putting straight'iggie wrote:As far as I am aware, the twins were formed using standard P51 fuselages and wings (mostlySoftscience wrote:I know it says P-51 and all, but nobody explicitly said no just yet, so I must ask - Are twin-mustangs allowed?
), the P-82 was in fact somewhat different to the P51, but for the purposes of this GB, as the common name was Twin Mustang then we will allow them Best wishes
