Christos,
That has to be the most interesting looking Mustang I have ever seen!

Thank you for sharing.

Another outstanding build of Tamiya's incredible P-51D. You're extra detailing as needed really makes quite a difference.

I'll also 2nd what Gary said about the desert camo paint scheme. Not only haven't I ever seen one, but I can't find a desert scheme in American markings, just British Mustangs at this point. Could you provide us with some more information on the aircraft you've modeled.

Christos, once again just a stunning finish. Joel, this will be a Guatemalan Air Force Pony, judging by the blue star with the blue center for the insignia.

Best wishes,

Ian
