Good'un, looking forward to it.

Nice! Is this some sort of limited issue of the Tamiya kit? I know of a good many different issues of this kit with different decals, but I've never seen it with this particular markings. Either way, should be good to see this one come together. If it wasn't for my Bf-110 project I prolly would have tried throwing in a Tamiya 'stang as well.

Thanks guys I need to get to LHS and get some correct colors any hints on cockpit color. I dont know about the limited run but it might have something to do with the movie
redtails that just came out i havent seen it yet.

Great kit, lousy box art! What ever happened to the inspiring artwork from when I was a kid? Wrong place for this rant. I'll start a thread elsewhere. Anyway, I may be wrong but i believe the pit should be interior green. Suggestions?

 

[Crimea_River]

Jerry, plenty of references on the net for your cockpit. Just google "P 51 cockpit" and select images.

nice choice

 

[T Bolt]

You're going to love that kit Jerry.

 

[Airframes]

yep, it's just been released - same kit as before, with new decals, to coincide with the movie.

omg I might have to try a Tamiya Stang after I finish the Hasegawa Stang I have in this gb, Great choice, more stangs the merrier

 

[Andy70]

Looking forward to this one as well. Might need to pick up this kit. I had done some Red Tails when I was younger, but they have all disappeared with time, so I've been wanting to do another.

Great choice. Can't go wrong with P-51.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Great choice. Can't go wrong with P-51.

Got to agree, can't wait until the stash is thinned out enough so I can get one.

 

[ozhawk40]

Great pick Jerry, well done!

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Great model... Actually met a couple of those men at an annual airshow we have here every year. They are great to listen to.

Thanks guys I did some reading on cockpit colors and per the instructions the tamiya mixture of XF-3:2 +XF-5:1 so thats what I will start with.

now sitting behind the mustang is a 190 A-5 that I picked up with the paint I got.
