USAF P-51 B/C Revell 1/72 #04182

Bought this kit at a flea market sale really cheap, something like less than 2 euros. OOB camouflage and markings are fine but wanted to make an aluminium D-style bird instead. This model represents a USAF 118th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron North American P-51 B/C Mustang in China 1944 or 1945, found a nice reference photo of the original

No other modifications than the fuselage camera opening and tail number decals from Hasegawa civil 1/200 airliner kit. Painted with Revell enamels, final clearcoat semigloss Johnson/Future floor wax. Nice kit, nice model.

Royal Air Force P-51B 'Mustang' 1/72 Revell

Basic but good Revell 1/72 scale kit for my RAF collection, no actual weathering but trying to use slightly uneven painting coats in the camouflage on purpose. Didn't turn out as well as I thought, but can't know without trying!






Yet it doesn't look totally awful, must be the British markings on a Mustang and good Revell kit underneath?






Sometimes it just doesn't work despite all the effort, this is no masterpiece but I keep it anyway
