That's a pile, Matthew. I haven't made a Tam 51 in more that two years, so I feel the itch a bit.
But next year will be two!

That's only about half of the P-51's I have. I have tried to down size, but then I find a paint scheme that I really want to/ have to/ need to do and..well, you get the idea.
Looking forward to getting some of them knocked out. Only about 5 gazillion others ahead of them currently...doh!
Thanks, "Q"

Hi
I have a 78th FG 1/72 P47D and P51D (Big Beautiful Doll) with the Duxford Black n White chequer board noses and also a P51B and P51D (both as Old Crow) as flown by Capt Anderson if they can be included. I had to do these because of the Duxford connection - Duxford has to be one of my favourite places!
thanks
Mike

Hi all,
I've enlisted tonight with an old 1/48 Revell Monogram P-47 Razorback with Yellow and Black tail.
Roll on November.
Edit (22/09): Here it is, an Oldie but a Goodie.

I have a couple decal sets with P-47 bubble top decals w/ checkered cowlings. I'd be willing to get one of the sets to you. PM me if you are interested.

I'll be joining with this:
Italeri boxing of DML Me 262 + Aires gun bay.
Here is the camouflage scheme I am going for. RLM 81/82 scheme with RLM 04 (yellow) nose tip. I wont do hardly any mottling, because it just ruins up everything if you try to make it with brush.
