Ok, that certainly qualifies for several bonus points! Even more if they're 1/24th

I'd love to take part in this Group Build but unfortunately the P-51 I have is destined to be in a Whif's scheme.

If Allison engined 1a's are acceptable, I'd like to request a posting to this outfit

Having just tried Alclad 2 on a F-47 build I must work on my airbrushing techniques as the end result was more than a bit disappointing. Fortunately, the build (a Cuban FAEC aircraft) is not one I especially require so it was as much a test as anything. Trouble is, I don't really know where I went wrong with the Alclad!!

Go up to the Finishing Tips forum, ask your question, describe what you did, show some photos -- probably we can figure something out.

John,
Thanks - still finding my way around the forum, I shall venture forth and try your suggestion.

I have now given myself a dilemma, I was going to tackle at least one, if not a few Airfix 1/72 Mustangs, but have just ordered a 1/32 Dragon kit.....decisions, decisions

Interesting stuff. Build it!!!

Rite of passage for any young modeler 'over here' way back then ....

I have to be careful the older I get, the fuzzier the thinking, I'm liable to go on a C-Monogram-K binge ....

[iggie]

I've never seen anything like that before! (and I'm not sure if I ever want to again either )

Why is the pilot wearing a gimp suit?

I am going to tackle one of the 2 recorded Cuban FAR F-51's. They were unsuccessful Revolutionary aircraft because of being unserviceable for much of their time in Cuba. Had that not been the case then F-47 vs F-51 air combat would have been on the cards.
