Picard Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey Brian, Scooter Yoak and his dad Bill are good friends of mine. I really enjoyed watching your build of Dixie Boy because I want to do a Quick Silver build for them. If you have never met them, they are fantastic folks. Also, I have a few photos of QS if you need ref pix. v/r, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few pics of QS so far including that highly modified interior.....but would always love more. The finish on Dixie boy turned out so well and unusual looking that I think a machine like QS could be just as if not more impressive covered in highly polished kitchen foil. My first will be the yellow nosed "Jasper Joker" - prob by Zotz Ads Nice one..................I think I too will be doing my first Tam 51 with a Zotz decal set. They do look nice. For foil decals work excellent, and ive used Elis decals on my Mk XIV, and they worked awesome, and were nice and thin. I think my first will be Ed McComas mount - Brian Edited April 17, 2011 by Out2gtcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branchline Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 What a truly amazing thread... Reading through it is like watching a bunch of really excited kids all bursting at the seams to get into a highly rated movie or open their special birthday present, and I have to say I'm just as excited too having eventually bought a copy of the Tamiya Mk XI Spit after thinking it was too expensive but I waivered only after our LHS dealer phoned me to say he had a spare one left over from the original order and would I be interested. The cunning blighter must have known it was my birthday as had it not been I wouldn't have bought it - but am dam pleased I as it really is the best kit by my reckoning. So if the P51 is anywhere as good, I'll be in for one each if they do a B and a D. Well done Tamiya and too excited to think of a scheme just yet...

is it windy yet? Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I was hoping this would be a Spitfire, but I'll still buy whatever Tamiya puts into a box marked 1:32. I can see myself buying three of these for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maamold Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Here's the one I'm going to be doing! Bummer - Just got the Hasegawa P-51D as a gift, purchased a cockpit for it now Tamiya pulls this . Now I have to figure out if I'm gonna do Happy Jack's Go Buggy with the Hasegawa or wait for the Tamiya kit.
