Thanks Steve…she’s pretty much done. I have a bit of a ‘glitch’ happening right now that I will have to fix…the antenna just behind the cockpit is so thin that the EZ Line long wire antenna I strung to the rear stabilizer is too weak and it is bending towards the back. I dunno what to do to fix it without using an AM antenna mast (which I don’t have). That’s my only real dilemma right now. I will post pix later on tonight.
Do you have any scrap brass you could fab one out of? Or maybe a thin piece of alum.
No, nothing. Gonna keep it as it for now and keep an eye out for something to sub in for a mast.
I’m calling 'er done (except a minor repair to the antenna mast when I can scrounge a part). Here she is with landing gear:
Here’s that bad bend in the mast. The tension on the mast is caused by the tension of the EZ Line:
Here’s my fav pic with a neutral background.
Or this one:
Thanks Steve and CodyJ for this GB. If ya’ll don’t mind, i grabbed a badge and I will be on the hunt for a car and a Boeing build subject. Thanks for looking.
Nicely done. Turned out to be a really different subject.
Beauty finish Rob, Cody will get your pic posted soon. I see you picked my favorite patch. Great minds think alike.
Thanks Steve…the whole set of badges are epic. I’m gonna endeavor to own 'em all!
OK, here is what I’m going to start on. The 1/32 Hasegawa P-51D. My plan is to display in in a diorama with the pilot, William Whisner, along with a mechanic discussing the maintenance to his mount “Moonbeam McSwine” I want to lower the flaps, which will require some surgery, so this is the start of that process.
Steve
Rob, awesome job on a different P-51!

Your finished pic has been posted Rob! Sorry it took me a bit. I didnt think I’d need to post any for a bit! Haha not so eh? Great captured subject. Great work and Insanely fast!!!
Rob, that Must-wurger looks outstanding. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Ahh the Mustang, one of my favorite subjects. I hope to jump into this pool head first soon.
Joe
Thanks guys, wanted to do something ‘unusual’!!
“Record” build time [:)]. Interestingly, I prob build a low piece count model at the same quantity of hours than anybody else, it’s just I live alone and have ‘tons’ of time on my hands, so, it seems fast [Y][H][Y]
I really like how you posted the box tops of the models with the roster. Cool!
Ken
That captured Mustang is really interesting as well as being a very sharp build!
Thanks Ken,
Did I get yours right?
Great job Rob. The NM finish looks very good and those markings are wicked.
First the kit box

I made some progress with my ancient Monogram Mustang. Got the office painted up.

Painted the IP then drybrushed to pop the instrument faces. A drop of Future on each instrument replicates the glass face.
Holy smoke PJ, that panel is insane. I believe I could fly using that. Lets see here, Attitude Indicator, Turn and Bank Indicator, Climb Indicator, Altitude, airspeed, yep let me at it.
LOL MC. The details are very sharp in this old Monogram which makes it easy to drybrush…
Nice progress PJ. That intrument does look excellent.
