Rick's 1/87 Scale Cornerstone P51 Mustang (Lee's P51 GB 2022)

[Mini Me]

Here's the final result of playing with "shiny" stuff. As I stated in the build thread, just a "small" tribute to the Tuskegee Men who fought and sacrificed in more ways than one, to make a contribution for the Greater good of mankind.

 

[Jim R]

You've done a really fine job with this Rick. You certainly have a way with this scale.

 

[Allen Dewire]

An absolutely fantastic finish and a great tribute Rick!!! You've nailed it to a "T", being so damn tiny too!!! I wouldn't worry about the silver finish either, as I'm sure the real 'Stangs' had the same with wear and tear on them...It's hard to believe these guys had to fight 109's, 190's and the like, flying P-40's at the start. A brave bunch of men for sure and please bring on the dio my friend. It'll be a goodun'......

Prost
Allen

Thank you Jim, The scale is Just right for the amount of room I have to work with.

All went pretty well Allen considering I'd never played with this stuff before.....after bustin' JR's chops over not having a "Big" Bertha in his French Pastry shop, I came up with this name for my fictitious Pilot's Bird.......I think "Big" Betty is appropriate....Hope he likes it! Got most of the stuff to do the Dio. just need to round up a proper base. Thanks again for keeping up with this and your nice comments.

Sorry Smiffy....I drug my feet as hard as I could.......you should be pretty close to rolling over the line. See ya soon!

An excellent finish. I’m sure your dio will really set the Mustang off nicely.
