PJ's P-51 Mustang

[Gern]

I'm doing PJ's build thread as he doesn't have access to any sort of suitable device.

We picked one of the Tamiya versions as they seem fairly simple to build and shouldn't throw up any problems. This is the one:









Apologies for the poor pics. The 'shakes' are back.

The kit goes together well, and quickly, doesn't like getting knocked off the bench though..........
Don't forget to drill holes for the wing stores, I did.
And the prop blades can plug into the spinner after it's assembled, which can make painting easier.

Not accurate, but sometimes it's hard to get PJ to pick up a paint brush. He's much happier fixing bits together with the brush in his Tamiya extra thin!
