P-51C Mustang "Evalina" (Arma Hobby 1/72)

[ArmouredSprue]

Hi all
Here is my representation of the P-51C 11-NT Mustang that was piloted by 1st Lt. Oliver E. Strawbridge from the 26th FS, 51st FG circa January 1945. A very interesting article and reference was done by Arma Hobby and it's worth reading: The Chequered Fate of the P-51C Mustang Called "Evalina"
Model was built out of the box and I have used a mix of Tamiya, Gunze aqueous and SMS lacquer (for the metallic paint). Kit decals.
This kit was pleasure to build. Very well detailed and accurate, however not a beginner kit, it takes super attention to the various different steps and variants with specifics parts for the version you're building. So you will need to decide on the paint scheme before breaking the first part off the sprue.
Here are the photos of the finished model:
