I think I’ve decided that my next build after the Tempest will be a P-51B Mustang. I want to continue working on my natural metal finish skills. The Sabre Dog has been a good start, but I want to apply some of the lessons I’ve learned on that one to another airframe. And I had some decals sitting around that I think will look really cool.
For markings, I wanted to use AeroMaster’s 48-226 “9th/15th AF Mustangs Aces”, and specifically a cool shark mouth scheme called “Virginia”. It’s a very striking scheme, I think, and should look really cool.
The kit I’ll be using is Tamiya’s 1/48 Â Mustang III boxing of their P-51B kit. I’ve not built their P-51B, though I have built a few of the D models. It is one of the finest kits I’ve ever built. The fit is classic Tamiya- perfect. In fact, that was one of my reasons for choosing this kit. I want to work on my natural metal finishing skills- and not have to fight the kit to do that. So this one should be perfect.
I’m looking forward to this one!
No doubt you will knock this one out of the park!
