AIRCRAFT - Mustang Ranch... P-51 Group Build--ends 12/31/04

I am in for a mare or stallion fully loaded

I myself have no problem with images being posted in this thread. I think there was concern in other GB threads that alotta images might make it a PITA to look through and that links to images would be more desirable, but I’m not sure on that; I haven’t really participated in many GB’s up 'til now.

Anyhoo, if that was the case with some of the other GB threads, then links to images would be cool.

But I reckon I like’ta see them-thar pitchers pop up magic-like in furnt’a ma eyes…

Fade to Black…

Ok Steve-O… I’m sure I can make that deadline… please put me down for a mare or stallion (not sure which one it is). I’ll be building the Tamiya 72nd P-51D. Sounds like this’ll be the rootenist, tootenist GB in all these here parts!!!

I just picked up a Tamiya 1:48 P-51 B, and a set of Aeromaster Decals for “Tex” Hill’s ride “Bullfrog” while CO of the 23rd FG in China. So count me in. Great Idea

BlackWolf. I am doing a 1/48 Tamiya p-51D, so I guess that makes me a stallion?

I reckon we’re in business and almost all up to date here…

I think that shrikes and Vintage are the only ones who haven’t given a definite yay or nay; just lemmee know either way fellas…

Next thing we gotta git done is send one’a them telegrams an’ git this ani-mule roped 'n corralled over yonder in that-thar GB stable…

Fade to Black…

Yeee Haww! Fixin to head on out to the barn t’night and start try’in to tame that thar stang. [C):-)]

Since your letting started kits be part of the build this will be good motivation to finish my 1/48 Hasegawa P-51K. I will be building (finishing) it straight out of the box with aftermarket decal representing “Sunshine” piloted by Lt. Col. Bill Banks of the 348th FG, 5 AF.

Hiya Steve,
I have a Stallion out in the barn that is a lil jealous of the Colt…!!! So there might be a Stallion in the running as well [:p]…!!!
Now, if I can only get the Colt out from under my bed…LOL
Flaps up, Mike

Just sent my order to Ultracast for yet another box full of Resin. Hope it gets delivered when the Misses ain’t home or else I’ll end up with a [B)].

Regards, Rick

(enter saltydog’s profile against a orange sunset, you hear the crack of a whip in the background, then the music to “the good, the bad, and the ugly” begins playing…
with my eyes all squinted up…)

OK Steve-O Yea got me!! That little 1/32 Hasawega P-51D kit I mentioned I started during my vacation and lost the OOB headrest. Well, I have since bought and received in the mail from squadron a resin interior kit, resin flat’nd tire, and an AM decal set (it came as “checkered tailed”) but I wanted to do a “yellow nose” version. I’m leaning towards the “Miss Detroit”.

Count me in Dude as a solid YES.

And If you want I have an AM 1/48 P-51A kit on the shelf. But I was saving that one for a little while yet.

I reckon you can count me in too. I got me an impassioned plea to join tonight. It wil probably be a “ba” model.

I’d like’ta give ya’ll a warm welcome to the ranch an’ express my ‘pre-shade-a-shun for ya’ll comin’ together from all corners’a the range, especially them who come along-ways from out yonder on’th frontier…

Right now I have two Tamiya P-51B’s in the corral, and maybe another kit as well; haven’t decided yet.

By the way, I changed/added some of the classifications in the ‘Legend’; I totally forgot about the P-51H! Of course, it’s definitely not my favorite variant of the Mustang, so it’s no wonder I forgot about it…

Anyhoo, glad to see that we have a good selection of the available kits entered in this here GB, with three different scales and most of the variants being covered.

Also, even though I’m an ETO kinda fella, it’s good to see someone doing Stangs from the PTO & CBI. (Model Grandpa & TimL, respectively.) Those TO’s seem to remain largely overlooked by many folks who build Mustangs…

We even have an F-6 in the mix! No P-51 or P-51A*, though… Other than those, all we’re really missing is one of those 24th beasts…

*I think I know what my third Stang might be now…

Looks like the posse’s in 'fer a time with this band’a wrustlers…

Fade to Black…

I gots me a filly I’d like to toss in the ring (AM -1/48- P51A) - been sittin’ taking up room for a couple of years. I’d like it to take up other shelf space tho…

Let’s see. I’ve got the AM A-36. ICM’s B/C (2) and a Revell "big beatiful doll’ all on the ‘to do’ list. I’m in with hope of using all of the experience available. I plan to stick close to the OOB attitude with only doing some minor detailing. I like the look of an intricately detailed cockpit, but when you close them up in this scale, only you know what you’ve done. Trying to explain the detail work to non-modeling friends casues their eyes to glaze over. Looking forward to putting more 51’s for a Tuskegee Airman dio.
Does anyone know where to find decals for “By Request”?[:D]

Please add my name . have to get a rope and run the range and get me one , but , i can do.
thanks glen schneider

So I goes to the shelf and pull down one of my Tamiya P-51B’s and WOOHOO !, there’s a Jaguar resin interior and some AM decals in there that I forgot I had.

Why didn’t you let me know I had these things Steve?
