Happy Jack's Go Buggy

[Big10]

Hello all, it's been awhile. Just another instalment of Eduard's P-51D dressed up as Jack Ilfrey's ride.

Makes it even Kooler!! Thanks Sir!

 

[Big10]

Thanks all, it's a really cool scheme and one of my favorites for the Mustang. Eduard will be releasing decals from the same unit and similar color schemes of Glengary Guy. Looking forward to that as well, been wanting to build that one too.

Got this one finished up. I am not a big fan of how Eduard have you mount the drop tanks, lot of room for error. All in all, I am happy with how Happy Jack's Go Buggy turned out.

Lovely build, such an iconic paint scheme also.

Yes it is, one of my favorites. Had a chance to photograph one done up in the scheme a while back.

Sweet!

Man I'll tell ya what......that right there is one of the best replications I've seen of a P-51 yet!! From the details, to the paint, to all of the subtle weathering. True labor of love right there! A++++++++++++++++++

 

[errains]

Most Excellent!!!

Thanks all!!!

Mustang1989, I do love the P-51D Mustang and with all the quirks that Eduard kits has, its the best in my opinion. I do hope they do a B/C down the line.

I forgot to paint part of the spinner white in my hurry to fishing this one up. Here are some updated quick photos after doing that.

That is a smart looking plane.

 

[Skinny_Mike]

just fantastic!

That additional paint on the spinner is like the cherry that topped it all off.

I've got the Tamiya kit in the stash but may try one of these Eduard offerings after seeing this one.
