Zelle’s Wolfpack is a great read on the use of the P47 & P51 in ww2

 

[iambrb]

The title of this thread makes me think you’ve got an actual P51, ya know like Top Gun Maverick

And she's up!

 

[Heavens Eagle]

@jeaton01 Unless you got it printed out don't worry about the decal. I'm going out of box with one of the schemes I have just to wrap this up. I'm wanting to get over to the MacRobertson racers.

SOOPER NICE!

 

[Skinny_Mike]

Nice work Bob, knocking this out!

 

[sharkman]

Keep it up Bob, looking great!

I do not know why I had such a problem painting the spinner. Painted, stripped and sanded like 3-4 times.

And still not thrilled about this job.

BTW, might want to inspect the airflow on our airbrushes some time. Mine was sputtering pretty bad, did a full break down and did get some extra junk out. But still had something wrong.

The glob of junk came out of the quick connect and there was similar goop in the valve housing.

Sprays a lot better now!

Looking good Bob. Looking forward to seeing her dressed up

I have gotten absolutely hamfisted with these decals.

The checkerboard is not good, (the prop is hiding some damage, didn't plan that) the squadron code shattered, other side is worse. I'm shelving this from completion for later.

Gorgeous

Thank you James you are way too kind on this. If I ever do a checkboard again I need to figure out how to paint it.

Decals were created by the devil so he could have a good chuckle watching us try to put them on. Bastard...

It DOES look really good on the monitor!

 

[iambrb]

Daaaaaaaaaaaang. That is plum-putty there bubba

Seriously great work!
