zaxos345 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Good morning, I finnally finished the Tamiya's 1/32 P-51D as the P-51D-5 "Little Eva III", Capt. James "Sully" Varnell, 52nd Fighter Group, 2nd Fighter Squadron, Italy, 1944. James "Sully" Varnell was the MTO's third-ranking ace with 17 victories and ranked as number 10 among Mustang aces. This little-known ace scored all of his 17 victories within 67 days, making him one of the fastest-scoring aces ever. Tour expired, he's rotated home to train other pilots while Dalebroux & Jones became Lt. Hans Zachmann's men. Killed in a Flying Accident 9 April, 1945, near Pinellas Field, Florida. Varnell is the 10th ranked Mustang Ace of WW2. In progress here... Hope you like it, really appreciate any comments!!!

Daywalker Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Gorgeous build, the finish looks just like the real deal. From where I'm sitting, one of the finest builds of the Tamiya P-51D I have seen. zaxos345, Johnny Cloud and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck540z3 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Excellent modeling in every way my friend! As mentioned by others above, your painting is exceptional and I'm jealous of your oil vent stain on the starboard side. I tried to replicate that on my Mustang and it doesn't look half as good, or as convincing, as yours. Cheers, Chuck zaxos345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
