The MFH car is all but finished but i am waiting on some micro springs for the exhaust, no doubt i will end up winding them myself but lets see what MFH can offer, its next day delivery from the UK.
I do have a guy waiting for a Spitfire but i am not feeling it at the moment and no point in starting it if my hearts not in it.
I recently built a civil version of my Italeri Triumph
and now i was thinking of doing the same with my Italeri Harley WMD which still sits on the shelf
I was never really happy with this build because you may notice the left side of the wheels have metal spokes and the right side has thick plastic kit spokes
as it was early days for me and wheel building and i couldn't see how to do it with such small hubs.
The only problem i can see now is by the time you strip of all the military garb......there will be not much left
The other idea i had was to build it as a sort of "what if" and do it in a military fashion but in the colours of for example "Big beautiful doll" or a similar iconic aircraft ? I an not sure there is enough specific detail on the P51 that you could move too the Harley to make the link but there is the red bordered chequered areas and the BBD logo ???
Its a shame they cut the mudguards down on the Military version to stop mud clogging, i doubt i could modify these to look like the civilian version.
Food for thought ?
