tomg Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Tolga - You will be a better (already VERY VERY GOOD) modeler when you finish this. It is really making you work for the quality result I know you will get! Good job. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 5 hours ago, Grissom said: Hi Tolga, The thing that most impresses me with the majority of your builds is that you make your models from fairly old or basic kits - certainly not the latest, uber-expensive kits. So many people seem to get caught up in the 'if it's not the latest kit it's bad' mentality. You continually show us mere mortals how old, simple kits can be built into stunning miniatures, with a little bit of tender loving care. This model is such an example. There are some who would turn their nose up at a currently available P-51A/B kit but you continue to prove that a sow's ear can be turned into a silk purse. You are a true modeller. Cheers, Wayne Thanks a lot Wayne much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Some more progress on the wing The location of the wingtip lights should be corrected. They should be located on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. Ralph-D, Biggles87, LSP_Kevin and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Today's update When I started this project, I decided to build it with flaps down. Trumpeter's flaps are not suitable for this. That's why I decided to use flap parts from Tamiya. I would like to think that we have come to the end of surgical interventions.

Thanks Fanes, appreciated I'm still not sure if this will actually look like a P-51B when it's finished. The upper rear fuselage still looks a little thick. I don't want to list other problems. If I do I would be sabotaging myself Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Great work on a tough kit. Hopefully your build is enough to convince a manufacturer to give us a more accurate P-51B kit Matt Tolga ULGUR, Biggles87 and GeeBee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
