Revell P-51D-5NA

[Big10]

Placeholder for Revell's 1/32nd P-51.

Unsure what scheme I'm going to build but it's either another piano keys nose bird or a checker tail

Gonna throw in one of Eduard's Look panels and a few more stuff I've got to add.

I am leaning that way then i pull myself back towards the piano keys.

Here we go, still waiting on some goodies from HGW that I hope will be here soon. Not sure if I will putty the wing panels or not. Looking forward to building this kit and comparing it to Tamiya's P-51, although the last on I built was yeaaaaars ago.

Here are some sprue shots from the kit. Detail not bad for the price.

About the only negative I have is the rear canopy. I don't know what happened during their molding process, but it gives of this weird fun house effect. I think it's too thick.

@Big10 Radu Brinzan (RB Designs), Christian (P51SIG), and Roy Sutherland (Barracudacast) all had a hand at the design. I'm waiting to see the later variants.

What happened to RB Designs?

No idea since he closed RadubStore.com a while ago. He didn't respond on FarceBook.

Working on the cockpit at the moment. Added some lead wires to the radio and battery compartment.

Love that scuffed up floor board.

Man have instrument panels come a long ways. Eduard 1/32 Look panel for the Revel Mustang, it looks great.

Got both side panels done and used BaracudaCals P-51D cockpit stencils and placards.

IP does look great, nice touch with the end of the O2 lines.

Looking really good!

Now you know why I like 1/32 scale.
