1/32 Tamiya P-51D - The Millie G

[Jack]

Now that is one gorgeous looking 51D, just like the real thing, and to me it brings back memories of one of my favorite old revell 72nd scale P51D Millie G kits i started this hobby with 60 years ago, glad i changed to 32nd scale interests right after that.

Especially the first pictures are really life like, you could have fooled me!!

 

thanks for sharing,

 

Jack.

Thanks Jay for the very interesting information. I didn't know that the 55th FG switched over exclusively to the paper tanks.

 

And then - what do you know.  I find a pic of a 55th FG P-51 "Worry Bird" flown by a Captain Coons.  If you google it, you will find a metal tank on that aircraft!  I think though, if you want the best shot at the most realistic replica you can make, I would go with the 108 gal paper tank.  Have fun with the pressure lines.
