it's another airfix P51D but being built as a CAC one so redroo seat going in...and redroo wheels to come....thanks Damo (cap n wannbe) for allowing me to do this....it could well end up alot of stangs to do the history of this plane

Having just done a CAC one recently, but the RAAF version I can understand the attraction, got a couple more on the go

Meant to add I was there at the start of that Brisbane to Adelaide race that it participated in, and saw it up close and personal, are you going to do your own decals?
