Hi all, I did a bit of research in to the feasibility of the USN operating the Mustang, and whilst having a look around found this page. So this is now no longer a what-if, but a what could of been build

I had somehow missed the fact that Airfix had re-tooled the P-51, looks like a nice kit. Liking the folding wings, will follow with interest. Si. |

Thanks for all the interest chaps Hi all, I had painted it VMA-300 Glossy Sea Blue, but I had a change of plans. the aircraft looked far to new for my liking in just the Glossy Sea Blue, so I have repainted her A.MIG-221 Zinc Chromate Yellow (FS33481). This is so I can do some chipping on it, once she is back to being blue: ![]() ![]() I have added an arrestor hook and a launch hook from wire :D Thanks for looking in Edited by mac1677, May 2 2016, 06:11 PM.

Looking a little Reno racerish . . . . Would have a fantastic rate of roll but land at a fair rate of knots! |

Thanks all Hi all, Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been very busy with work and viewing/buying a house. I have managed to finish her, although I somewhat rushed to get her finished, so its not as good as it should be ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I managed to get some glue on the inside of the canopy, note to self...do not rush!!!!!

This is a great looking whiff Mac so don't be too self critical. Re cement on inside of canopy, I use a fibreglass pen to remove it then a gentle sand and polish and a wash in soapy water before flooding with Klear. Edited by Olde Farte, May 7 2016, 01:43 PM.

Regardless of rushing, that has turned out fantastic. Looks great in that colour scheme. |
