Monogram 1/32 scale P-51D

I don't think JR has plans to finish his D. The arrival of Tamiya kit kind of knocked Jerry out of the game. At least he thought it did. Maybe he could be convinced to do a limited number?

The one detail I have never seen on any P-51 kit. That is the bird nests that magically appear in that hard to get to scoop right behind. The spinner. I've seen many a frustrated person having to do a one arm chin up, in order to use the other hand to feel for and clear out the nests while being attacked by angry birds, even if there aren't any eggs. While doing this hoping for no wasp nest which sometimes also occurrs.

IMHO the "Old Monogram" kit was the most accurate of all -51D's until Tamiya entered the fray. I built it and used Jerry's wheel well, wheels and cockpit which had no fit issues. I ditched all the working components and used the Monogram kit decals to finish it as a Korean bird. Most of the work will involve filling the openings for the working components and sanding the rivets down, but you will end up with a very respectable F-51D for Korea.
