Well......................from the looks of things there is no reason for me to enter my P-51 in the MOM contest this month.
That's a real looker Fred! Can't wait to see the finished product. I've been debating doing something without a prop for a few weeks now and I think your pics have finally pushed me over the edge.
Just out of curiosity, are you using enamel or acrylic on this one?
Also, two thumbs up on the doggy! "Maxwell" the schnauzer ace usually helps me out with my builds late at night.

Hi Hermon,

Thank you for your compliment. However, I work so slow dis boid may not be ready to enter until June! #:-)

Except for automobile rattlecan primers, so far she is 100% Polly Scale--can't beat it! I bought some MM jet exhaust but it looks the same as my homebrew, so I haven't used it yet.

That's Reagan checking out my work. He is losing interest hanging around the modeling room with me but still likes to hang out if he can wander outside the garage. Mainly he begs for me to turn on the water hose and spray water for him to chase! :-)
