Tamiya P-51D The Enchantress 1:32 |New Photos|

Work in progress topic:

http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=63538

I used:

- Eduard photoetch and masks

- HGW seatbelts

- Yahu IP (outstanding!) 

- Kagero Pacific Mustangs decal set

- Brassin wheels

I added cables in engine, wheel bays and in cockpit. I made "uncle dog" antennas, but these are not entirely correct, maybe someday i will replace it with good ones from Tamiya Pacific P-51 kit. Kit is remarkable but there are some scratches on diamond surface - wheel bays are full of ejector pins and there is a nasty seam line on a canopy. When you manage with these problems overall effect is like somebody used a shrink gun on real Mustang! Finest kit i ever assembled.

I'm glad I have two of these in my stash, but will need to wait for the ability to finish it at this level to come first!

I just LOVE the weathering!  Subtle, but expertly distributed just where it should be.  Great job.

506thFG is my all-favourite Stang-unit. I would suggest to add the wing aiming-lines to top of the wings to make it unique.
