Gday from Downunder

Which markings are you using for the 'stang? My kit markings for 'Down for Double' are going spare if you need them, also have markings for WD-B 'The Duchess' going spare.

Sorry,I just realised I typed P51D when in fact I am making the P51B.
I was going to make the Bud Anderson version but the stripes killed me (the decals in this set are awful) so I opted for the F/O Fred Glover of the 336th FS/4th FG aka 'Rebel Queen'.Couple of the decals are a bit ordinary (as in my placement) but it's almost passable!
Just the painting of the canopy to do and I'm done.Pics tomorrow all going well.
Thanks for the offer though,very generous of you.
Cheers,
Tony.

Welcome to the forum from another newbie...

I am having a 1/48 Trumpeter Wellington put together for me by my friend who enjoys the work (for the cost of a couple of bottles of Red Australian wine).

However just to stir the pot a little - am not a judge of the lassies but I reckon the Kiwi lads have got an edge on the Aussie ones... Mind you having just come back from NZ I would be predjudiced (and yes I have been to Oz guys!)

Thanks mate,I reckon somewhere down the track I'll make a 'Bud' P51 probably in 1/48 and this time I'll paint the stripes rather than use decals.8)
