    **** DONE: 1/48 P-51D "Petie 2nd" - Your Favorite Aircraft of All Time GB

    Username- Meatloaf109
    Name- Paul
    Catagory- Intermediate
    Scale- 1/48
    Manufacturer- Tamiya
    Model type- North American P-51D
    Aftermarket- Maybe a few bits of wire and stuff I find on my desk. Oh, and some aluminium foil probably.



    I think everyone is familiar with this fine piece of anglo-american co-operation, as well as this particular paint scheme.
    When I was a boy, my best friend and fellow modeler, Pete, recieved a kit of this plane in 1/72nd. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
    Being 9 or 10 at the time, I think it ended up in small pieces in one of our firecracker experiments. (America was a much funner place back then.)
    I have always wanted a "Blue-nosed Bird of Bodney", and with the debacle that was the P-35, this is a fine chance to use the foil again.

    No fancy do-hickeys just your basic Tamiya I.P. dry brushed.

    Got a "hook and eye' up high on the door. As long as the aliens don't have "chair" technology, we should be good. (And I warned both my daughters, for good measure!)
