You'll Laugh! You'll Cry: P-51 Project Final Installment!!!

Yup. I dropped off the face of the planet for a while (some of you are glad, no doubt!) but the Nerd’s back to clog your bandwidth with the FINAL installment of my P-51 project. Enjoy it now at: http://vairhead.com/nerd/p51page4.html

Yes, your Zen moment, indeed! Great model! You are funny dude!

[(-D]

Model Nerd,

you are the man… awsome build, great talk through… I find myself wishing I could take my puter to the John with me :slight_smile: hope your site stays up for awhile… I have a P-51 the need some glue slapped on it and maybe a little paint too :slight_smile:

very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very nice (sorry my “very” key got stuck down). Nice looking mustang though.

LOL Long live the laptop, and wireless internet!!! LOL I did take it to the john!! Great looking bird, hope you do get your article in FSM…that Blackwolf character ain’t such a bad guy afterall, is he!! LOL [;)][:p][:D] Just kidding dude, show me some mercy on MOHAA…please…!!! [;)]

Another very fine P-51 I’ve seen in this forum. Smile. Great job.

very nice build modelnerd. later.

Nice Bird

Great looking steed indeed! I know I’m gonna get slammed for this, but a 51 just doesn’t look right without invasion stripes. You did a very fine job of representing that A/C. I really liked your presentation, too.

Only thing is…

DUDE, where is the armament? (Or am I missing something?)

Nice looking Stang. A little humor is a good thing. What’s next on your build list ?

Are you referring to ordinance? I like to build my fighters “clean”, with no external rockets/tubes or even drop tanks, as they detract from the aircraft’s purest form. (Oh man. Did I just say that? Let’s go wear black turtlenecks, play bongos and smoke clove cigarettes!) This is not to say I NEVER stick on bombs, etc., on my projects, but the 51 is such a sleek, sexy thang, just the airframe by itself does the talking as to the formidable character of the fighter.

And to all, thanks for the positive feedback. But if y’all aren’t careful with the compliments, I might just spring ANOTHER project on you! Eeek!

Well so glad you asked! Currently in the Nerds’s plastic grinding machine is the Monogram (yes, Monogram, you know how I feel about those things!) Heinkel HE 111 in our favorite 1:48. At the very least, it will be sufficient excuse to sniff more glue. Wish me luck, though, that nose bubble with all those window frames will certainly prime me for the funny farm, if 15 years of marriage hasn’t already!

Great looking mustang, thanks for the detailed report and great pics.

Another great build with some humor…gotta love that. Very nice looking Stang MN… we’ll get the straight-jacket ready for you when you take on that Heinkel greenhouse…

awesome bird. thanks for the play by play.

Nice Stang. Preddy is one of my favorite WW2 aces and you sure did his ride justice. I have one of them 111’s in my hangar, err closet. I think I’m gonna leave her be until I see how you managed with yours. lol Very entertaining build review. Thanks for the laughs.
