I've just enlisted and will be using the Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D (early version) in the markings of Captain Donald Emerson(Donald Duck--dukes up and fighting mad).



Not going to use any aftermarket on this the detail is already great.

Martin.

Quick update on my "eggtang" I've been at Sam's the last couple of weeks so I've managed to get a little more done but no pictures as I forgot my camera anyway the egg has been painted, decaled, Kleared and oil washed.

Just waiting for that to dry and another coat of Klear, then sub assemblies will go on and it will hopefully be finished.

Nice choice, Martin.

Looking forward to follow your build.

Made some progress over the last few days.





Just a little weathering to do before I close up the fuselage.

Martin

Made some more progress .


After some Surgery.







Ready for some paint.

Thanks

Martin

Coming along nicely sundon speedy progress

Second that , now if I can just get out of this rut and get something finished myself ...............

Hi all,

I have finally gotten around to taking some pics of my build. It is a Tamiya P-51B (new limited edition boxing) with Dallas Darling markings from Eagle Strike Blue Nose Birds of Bodney Part 6. OD over Grey with ablue nose and white ID stripes.

I have just masked and sprayed the white stripes so almost ready to gloss and start on the decals.









Regards,

Mark

Just a quick update, ready for some markings.



Thanks

Martin

A quick update before I head back for another beer.....



More soon as well as pictures....

Finished. This Donald Emerson's P-51D Donald Duck--dukes up and fighting mad. Built OOB using Hasegawa 1/48 Mustang.









Thanks for Looking

Martin

Wow you guyu's are moving long very well !

Excellent build Sundon

Looks great, Martin. A very nice build and very nice natural metal finish.

Thanks for sharing

The natural metal finish looks really good Martin, very well balanced and a great looking model.
My own 1/32 'B' conversion is taking shape now, I managed to locate an extra seat and cockpit parts via a friends spares box and have been working on the main wings, altering the leading edges and wing roots along with rescribing and a new gun configuration. I'll put some pics up soon.

Hello everyone. I have been floating around the armorama side of the house lately and thought I would take a look over here. Saw the Mustang campaign and thought, "I think I have one of those kicking around."

Granted I'm coming a little late to this party, and it will be kind of tight getting it done in time. But given the kit I have...


It probably won't be the end of the world if I have to rush a 20 year old kit that wasn't that great anyway.

This kit did have its advantages...


But I feel I should come clean. I have exaggerated. This kit isn't 20 years old.

It's 19.

In any case, I'm looking forward to joining you all

Welcome to the campaign, Axel. Do not worry about being a late entry. I have not even begun my build myself yet.

It will be interesting to see what you get from this old kit. Looking forward to see more.

Just a thought - I recognised the Donald Duck P51, as thats the one thats sitting in the RAF Museum at RAF Hendon. Does anyone kow if you can get them markings in 1/72?

thanks
Mike

Don't hope for too much. On my best day, I'm not as good as most of you guys. Still, I'll give it a whirl and throw up some progress pics as I go. I'm about two days from finishing the P-38 I'm working on. That one is another 19 year old Monogram (I'm trying to clear out the old stash). Anyway, once that is done, I can begin in earnest.

I still really haven't done anything on my build and will have to shift gears on it and set it aside . Will be doing a 72 scale build instead , easier for the time frame . Just have way to much on the go at the moment .

Hi all,

Just a minor update:



I have added the white stripes and given her a gloss coat pre decals.

Mark

Looking good folks. Wish I was making progress

During my research on the internet I came across a colour profile of a PLAAF P-51. It was used by the nationalist forces during the Chinese civil war and captured by the Communist Peoples Liberation Army.

I cannot decide on whether I want to use some artistic license and make a P-51 in typical PLAAF camouflage and markings. So it will not look as below, but will still be loosely based on the markings below.

Or do the shark mouth P-51 from the Korean war. A very attractive and colourful scheme.

Suggestions welcome. More to folllow.

I have finished my P-39 (PHOTOS SOON ) so I have started the Mustang

Until now I have only drilled the exhausts & primmed










Cheers Nick

Finally finished the Eggtang today

It's the Hasegawa kit painted with Alclad and tamiya paints and kit decals used

So without further ado here are some photos of the finished kit.











As always comments, suggestions and critique is always welcomed

Well done Allen. An interesting distraction from the typical garden variety Mustang. Well done indeed!!!
