John Irwing Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Airfix 1:24 North American P-51D Mustang (A14001A)1Lt Spurgeon Ellington, “Tuskegee Airmen”, 100th Fighter Squadron, 332nd Fighter Group, Ramitelli, Italy, December 1944.Continuing my efforts to make the full set of Airfix 1:24 Aircraft, here is my attempt at the big pony, this being the 2012 release of the 1972 original. Not what I would either call a nice kit, or my best finish but I enjoyed the journey none the less. It’s now on the shelf with my Spitfire and 109, just pulled the Hurricane out to start next.http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/009_zpss6tjh4h6.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/006_zpsd5op402a.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/007_zpsek17opkk.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/008_zpso9iypn6j.jpghttp://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah51/johnirwing/010_zpsnq9hsgzi.jpgBush painted, mainly with Revell Aquacolor but also some Humbrol enamels and acrylics and Mustang given a coat of Flory dark dirt wash, the aerial wire is EZLine inserted after drilling a hole in the canopy.

John Symmons Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hello JohnVery nice build, well done it looks superb. Recently saw the film of the Red Tailed Devils all about the Tuskegee Airmen and while It was good with plenty of CGI, there is a far better film of the Tuskegee Airman made it the 80's or 90's and I feel far more historically correct. the older film focuses more on their formation what they achieved and what happened after the war, If you can find it, it's worth a viewing.Love to see photos the Mustang together with the Spitfire and Messerschmitt.Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
