TonyDrake Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've got 3 1/32 kits stuck in progress, which should I choose - I'll get to one in a week or two.. IThe mustag was bought on ebay in this state... not my work yet... a bit of work to do... The TA-152 (my fav plane of all time) is just stuck with me wanting it to be perfect... and the PCM is just waiting for it's turn... probably the easiest option.... all three have some nice 3rd party PE and the spit/51 resin (new to me).... which one village?

LSP_Kevin Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Why choose? Do 'em all! I must say, that's a clever way of combing the Revell B and Hasegawa D Mustang fuselages! Might just try that myself. Kev mpk, Shaka HI and Alain Gadbois 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Go for whichever will be the hardest to finish. After that, the others will be a breeze! Rick Griewski, mpk and R Palimaka 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I am partial to the kit bashed P-51B. For extra convincin'.... We had a thread a year back about making vac canopies for/from the Jerry Rutman kit. IIRC a Malcomb hood was shared. I will look for the master. Vandy made the canopies.

TonyDrake Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 mmm - thought people would go for the P51... spent some time looking at what I've got... and couldn't find a canopy.. the windscreen is broken too. I might build anyway... The tail is going to be fun. I have both the ZM and Taymia P51, so I'll use those as preferences (tail and scribing). The wheel wells are horrid too... I've lots of random PE.... it'll be hell... so keep me honest. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 P-51B is immensly cool, but I can see that there is quite a bit of way to go... Second to that the Spit - looks good mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'd do the Mustang - looks interesting & you'd have something fairly unique when you've finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'll plump for a kitbash any day ... go the mustang! Jim mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I just heard from Satan's advocate... That Z-M kit cost quite a bit of cash to be sitting idle... mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 No you need to go with art of the kit bash not money. Rick mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 There's a Spitfire in the list of choices - do you really have to ask? Just out of curiosity, however, how were you planning to do the Mustang's wing root leading edges, given the differences between B/C and D in this area? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I just heard from Satan's advocate... That Z-M kit cost quite a bit of cash to be sitting idle... I think it'd be the one I'd choose as well. Simply because it's interesting. Good luck! Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyDrake Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Tried to get replacement canopy from Trumpeter and Revell - we'll see if they deliver.. and I've found a good wheel well in resin (for the Trump, but should be OK). I've decided to go with the Spit, and when the canopy comes, go the 51 (not point if I can't finish it, and I'm not up to building one!! So Spit to go. More to follow...

Thomas Lund Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 A canopy for the P-51B ? I MIGHT have one if you are interested... Did two some years ago - one greenhouse and one bubble canopy, so I should have one of each left over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
