Rick Griewski 3,830 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hmmm... Brett has Already finished the model and writing/written an article for a magazine. A lot of first kid on the block going on. I hope the man sleeps once in a while. I am looking forward to the kit. Rick David66 and Troy Molitor 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick HMD 259 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 That looks very nice. Frenesi is also one of my favorite picks for the block 5 model. Though I think the open canopy should lay flat on the spine. David66 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JamesHatch 1,111 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 My test shot will be with me in a few days, sans decals. This will be an article for TMMI. For scheme, I think this is the one! reconspit, MikeC, Brad-M and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites
John1 4,031 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 love to see some other aftermarket outfits put some decals out for this kit. Jennings, any interest? Seems like there are some pretty interesting subjects, between all the unique camo schemes and the individual pilot markings. Btw, did any of these aircraft use the K-14 gunsight?

Juggernut 2,654 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 love to see some other aftermarket outfits put some decals out for this kit. Jennings, any interest? Seems like there are some pretty interesting subjects, between all the unique camo schemes and the individual pilot markings. Btw, did any of these aircraft use the K-14 gunsight? Not from the factory, no but as time went on and retrofit kits became available, many of these earlier aircraft (and there were a lot of D's delivered prior to the factory inclusion of the K-14A, not just the -5's) were converted from the N-9 (if my memory is holding) to the K-14A gunsight. I think I read (again my memory isn't what it once was so I may be wrong) in Merle Olmstead's book on the 357th that they changed all their aircraft to use K-14A's. To be sure, you'll need a photo of the cockpit glareshield or the left sidewall (throttle specifically) to tell whether your chosen subject has the K-14A or not.

Guest Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Abuncha filletless, different color schemes. Photo of 486th FS 4th FG at Debden in preparation for the first England / USSR shuttle mission June 15, '44. Looks kinda like a posed shot.

Ironwing 1,929 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 cough cough....link http://www.hyperscale.com/2017/galleries/p51d32revellbg_1.htm All All right, I'm a PIA...but...for what appears to be a nicely built and finished model, the canopy is installed incorrectly and the floor is finished as natural wood. No..No..No..No. Sorry, it just makes me go Stoopid. Why propagate inaccuracies that outwardly defy reality? I'll shut up now. Geoff David66 and LSP_Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff I couldn't agree more And remember that people will be buying the book too... Whilst I am perfectly at ease with people having different attitudes to accuracy, this sort of stuff is just lazy My mind still boggles that these books sell But hey ho David66 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know he knows That's what makes it even worse Why not paint the whole plane pink while we're at it?? David66 1 Link to post Share on other sites
