1/144th P-51 “Big Beautiful Doll” Once againI have to say…what really great kits these are. Great fit and the decals are remarkable. The nose checkerboard is 3 pieces that includes the anti-galre panel… and fit perfect. the green is a bit off but it was better than trying to mask. The wingtip checkers are one peice each… top, bottom and star&bar. The flaps were cut out and new ones scratched and dropped. The right side exhaust tweezer-pulted into oblivion and a new one was scratched… the manifold is 1/4 inch with 1/16 inch “pipes” made from with really thin wire.
OK …Time to drag out that really giant penny so you think the modle is really small[:-^]
What can I say, Marc? You’ve done it again, and it looks incredible! I just checked out my Academy 1/72 'stang and thought THAT was small, then tried to visualize every part in that kit half its actual size, shook my head, and thought “How the [censored] does he do that!?”
im just finishing up an academy 1/72 stang they are great little kits. I dont know i could work any smaller tho. the skill involved in those little 1/144 guys just blow my mind
Marc, my only critique would be that you should have used more appropriate decals…the ones for “Small Beautiful Doll”. What a great looking Musting in any scale. The NMF looks top notch from the pics, too.
Sheesh Marc! I really don’t know how you do it. I know you’re an old f$%t like me and the eyes?..well let’s say they ain’t what they used to be. Truly impressive work my friend especially in that scale. Looks like 1/48 or at least 1/72. Love it!!
Wow! Another amazing 'stang. I really don’t know how you do it…
But, I do know what you mean about the optivisor. I wear one all day long at work, take it off to drive home (VERY important!) and put one back on at home to work on models. Makes me eyes a little weird…
Looks great from here. I don’t know who you guys work on stuff that small. I rarely drop down as far as 1/72 But my builds at that scale are no where as good as yours in 1//144. Nice work wingnut.
