I had this kit laying in the stash for years. Dad bought it at a swap and sell for the drop tanks and then gave it to me, but it was missing the spinner. Fortunately Wumm was able to send me a replacement and Iain sent me some decals for Israeli Mustangs he wasn't going to use which probably saved it from being turfed into the bin (because I don't normally build older kits). I scribed some surface detail including dzus fasteners and knocked back all the raised rivets and panel lines. I did consider putting a resin cockpit in, but for the price, it just wasn't worth it. It's not a bad older model and although being surpassed by the Tamiya offering, if you're on a budget you can generally pick this kit up for 20 bucks at a swap and sell. As for white 19, it was shot down by ground fire over the Sinai peninsula in October 1956.

Nice,one of them just might make it way this way to sit beside my fisher RB-51.........swap and smell might just tempt me after all

I like that heaps Brad. Nicely done indeed

Nice, Brad. You've just convinced me to do the Tiger Beer Mustang in 1/32.
Is that the kit prop, by the way?

Ah no, it's the prop from the old 1/32 Monogram P-51D.

Love it Brad....it's great to see a P-51 in an not-so-common colour scheme like this.
Glad you didn't turf her...look how she turned out!!

Is it just me or do 51's just look better in non-US schemes? Nice work Brad. Always very interesting and inspiring to see "non-standard" (it's you thang!) schemes, as is tackling an older kit.
