I have been modeling primarily 1/48 since i started modeling and have thrown in some 1/72 and a 1/144 ship. Now, I have gotten a 1/24 P-51 for a birthday gift. I have completed the engine, but i’m looking for any and all hints and tips of constructing very large scale kits. Thanx!

Lots of glue and paint… like, in the gallons!! [:D][:)]
If it’s the Trumpeter P-51, read the article in the recent edition of FSM. It has a workbench Review article.
If it’s the Airfix kits, you’ll need patience, a gallon of filler putty, more patience, a good stress reliever, even more patience, alot of paint and then a hammer to pound the crap out of it cuz no matter how hard you try, you probably won’t be very impressed with the end result. For a more spectacular result, get some C-4 or Semtex and blast the heck out of it. As Big Jim McBob (the late great John Candy) says, “That blowed him up, real good!”
try www.largescaleplanes.com for the big ones. Cheers! John.
Hey, Murph! I’m working on the Airfix version now. ( very slowly, I might add!) Will let everyone know how it turns out. Once I buy a gallon of “Aluminum Plate” or a 6 pack of rattle cans!
