Airfix P-51D 1/48
Okay, #1 for 2021 is in the books....warts and all. Even for me, not my better work. I started this one thinking it would be a nice filler, easy and quick, while wait on things with the Impala. Wah, wah, wah.....But, there are things I'm happy with and of course, things that could be done better. There is a faint whisper of "build another one" to try and fix the issues I had. We'll see....oh, used Barracuda decals. Along with my sanity, the kit decal sheet is missing. I think it and the kit instruction sheet are in hiding. That is why the prop has no markings. When I find the decals, I'll probably add them.

Great looking build that Lyle - very well done. It's not the easiest of kits and I can see you've had some fun in the same places I did.
I do like those markings!

Beautiful, truly. Job well done, Lyle. I was wondering how you would finish, and I am so happy to see the final result. You did her justice. Congratulations!

That turned out pretty nicely! And you fixed the checkerboard seam problem! Looks like a win/win to me!
