superb job Jay, just saw this cool pic and wanted to share, keep the great work, cheers

great improvement job Gilles, an easy tip, german seatbelts were tan color instead of white cheers

great job Gilles, maybe you should fill those seams lines since they don't exists in the real thing, also the seatbelts attachment had leather mounts, keep the good! cheers

some references and Peter Airscale amazing rendition cheers

From last December, the old man's blog ZM

only thing we know it is not a D, to be confirmed

Unfortunately this kit has many flaws in shape... I found a useful use of it as a mule the good news is that ZM will release finally one, it is official after many years cheers

the light panel is also out of place in the Trumpeter kit

Another issue with the Trumpeter kit are the ammo panels depicted as the "D" model, in the B/C model were smaller since it had 2 machiguns per wing, the wing light panel gives you the reference to allinge with the end of the ammo panel, hope it helps, cheers

hot pony stuff!! loving every update Jay!

could be this? sorry no full view

Fantastic work, very accurate and beautiful pony John! really enjoyed your build, thanks for sharing! cheers

ah just noticed you need to drill the oil drain hole on the nose

looking awesome, here is some reference for weathering, cheers

good work on the SCR-552 VHF Transmitter not the battery though, the battery is the other box next to it, the Guatemalan Mustang cockpit is not unrestored as they say, it has clearly many parts repainted, even the stencils on the black parts!! and some modern instruments on the instrument panel , added plates on the floor... this is a unrestored cockpit this is my relic from a Mustang cockpit showing the Interior green color the headrest was brown or dark grey cheers

nice Mustang project, if you are looking for accuracy that seat model was not correct for the D-5 version, instead the Warren Macarthur, I quote some explanation from John Terrell himself written in the Mustang SIG forum time ago: The more I have looked at photos, the more it seems that the metal SJ seat only became prevalent, or at least more prevalent, in later D-models, past the D-15-NA era blocks. It seems that P-51D-5-NA's and D-10-NA's, if at least mostly, were fitted with WM seats. I don't recall seeing much, if any, photos showing WWII-era P-51B's or C's fitted with anything other than a WM seat, though a few of the P-51B/C's flying today are fitted with a metal SJ seat to the stock seat posts, while others have a WM seat (of which there are multiple types) installed to the stock seat posts. You really start to see metal-SJ seats on P-51D-20-NA's, D-25-NA's, and D-30-NA's, though I believe you can also find WM seats mounted to these blocks as well. If I were to model a P-51D-5 to D-15, I'd be more inclined to model it with a WM seat, and if I were to model a P-51D-20 to D-30, I'd be more inclined to model it with a SJ seat (without looking at actual photos of the individual aircraft before starting). Also check the underseat area, is a canvas dust protector, Interior green is on the floor but till the wing fuel gauges , the ventilation system was black painted. hope it helps, keep the great work, cheers

superb NMF job, looks lovely! great progress

this is wonderful Jay, Happy new Mustang!

that's a beauty, awesome build. Everything looks great and you nailed it Superb

Nice project Tom, JG 54 colors are a bit of a mystery, most probably mixed in the field but definitively non standard, here are some reference pics, including the one found in the forest untouched in the 80's, hope they are helpful, cheers

well, these days have been more and more sanding, trimming and dry fit for the resins, otherwise the fuselage halves do not close properly, it is getting very heavy and I think some tubing will be necessary for the front strut gear or it will collapse probably! the aires wonderful cockpit knobs and panel details had to be sacrificed for the exquisite Quinta set, I also fabricated a stand for her with high-tech materials and design, hoping some work and paint on the next update finally, cheers

Thanks bro, haha yes, had to paid my ignorant mistake with some old fashion modelling techniques like plastic and putty to convert it in the right version, yeah chasing the stars, sky's the limit!

seems like the nose art was pink, are the kit's decals in white or pink? cheers

oh nice! will follow this one were all the Starfighters used in Vietnam in camo colors? were exceptions? cheers
