Airfix 1/72 F-51D Mustang.

Post by Stuart »

So I finally finished this one up over the weekend - only my third completion this year. Well actually it's only 99.99% finished. I think the carpet monster migrated up to my bench and ate one of my rockets. If I ever find it I'll fit it.

That aside, overall I'm pretty pleased with it. It's not the best build ever but it came out looking acceptable.

Thanks for looking in.

Cheers!

That’s a real beauty! Well done!

Nicely done Stuart! Kentucky is ready to take on Tennessee and Virginia now :wink:
