[F-104nut]

I have a had a tradition I started 3 years ago at the beginning of the New Year by buildings 1/48 Tamiya P-51B . This will be the 4th year now. Not sure of the markings yet . Decided to buy the Reskit P-51 wheels and they are really nice. Masking and paiting the white walls was really easy with the Shadow hobbys Thinnerline circle cutter. Cocpit painted with AK real
and Mr color paints
colors and Mr color paints.

Very nice Brian. The kit pilots pose almost matches the dog shot
