This is one is finished in the distinctive markings of the 15th AAF, 100th FS/332 FG, otherwise known as the “Tuskegee Airmen”. Bunnie was flown by Capt. Roscoe Brown, who scored 2 victories, one an Me-262.
Model was built mostly OOTB with a replacement resin cockpit interior from True Details. Painted using Alclad2 and Model Master enamels. Aftermarket decals from Aeromaster.
Hope you like it, thanks for letting me share.
that looks excellent richard!![tup][tup][tup] man i love stangs. looks like you put a lot of time into it. i think you read about my debacle with my stang. im over it and am preparing two more stang cockpits (1 black box, its ok, and a aires which in my opinion is better than the true details set). the aires set has resin and photo etch with a molded in dash and gun sight. i lost my true detail cockpit too in the debacle. maybe i can post some pics of these two later. thanks for sharing and keep em coming!! later.
ps is that the kit canopy?
looks great. how long did the build take?

Nice work on the Mustang.
She’s a beaut! That NMF looks great with the red on it.
Chris, Joe, Keyworth, Madda : Thanks for the feedback & very nice comments.
Chris, That’s the kit canopy after polishing and a Future bath.
Joe, I built it over about a four week span, but I usually work on 3 models at a time so I have something to work on while waiting for paint/decals to cure between steps. I really don’t know how many hours, but the Tamiya Stang is a pretty easy build.
That is one awesome job bro…the only thing I like better than a Mustang is a Mustang in the Tuskegee scheme…very nicely done bro. I hope my soon-to-be-started “INA the Macon Belle” turns out half as well…
that looks great
Nice looking build. Thanks for sharing.
very nice 'stang you got there.
Was the pilot in the HBO mini series?
Also very good photography work.
Jeeves, Jon, magic8796, obiwan, Thanks for your nice comments, much appreciated.
Hey rjk,
Sweet lookin Stang my friend!!. Clean but appropriately done.
I’m sure Capt Brown would be proud of her[;)] BTW, is that the Hasegawa or Tamiya kit? I wanna say Hasegawa right?
Flaps up, Mike
What a colorful, well-executed Mustang ! Your build is a credit to those proud aviators. Well done !
Looks good! real good!
Mike, Pix, John, Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

I’m finishing up my Revell “Smithsonian” (1986) kit in the same TA scheme. If mine looks half as good, I’ll be happy. I got the long range tanks from emo07and will use Capt Toppins’ “Topper II” a/c. Thanks again for sharing and to emo07 for the tanks.
Nice job on your Mustang! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Nick, didfal, fuzzy, Thanks for viewing and your kind comments. Much appreciated.
Looks nice! I must admit, I was somewhat baffled by the “Tuskegee Airmen” references. Never heard the term before. Then I read the other day an item about an airworthy T-6 which is one of just two surviving which is known to have been used by them, and it explained the term. A bunch of very brave guys.
