1/72 Scale Kitbash of The North American NA-73X Mustang, IN Original Configuration

[TheRealMrEd]

A few pics of the North American NA-73X, in her very first configuration, that is to say, before the crash. The original NA-73X flew only 15 hours or so before crashing, due to a fuel problem. After the crash, the NA-73X was rebuilt, with several detailed changes. Even later, two of the earliest British Mustang I's were held back to become the first two XP-51's which of course, were of yet another configuration.

For those interested, all the gory build details are HERE..

Anyway, here are the pics of my attempt to model the NA-73X in her original splendor!

And last of all, just for S&G, a shot of the first mustang, and the last Mustang:

Thanks for looking,

Ed
