This is classic airframes' tall tail mustang, in 1/48. I didnt know about these kits' reputation when I opened it, but apparently it was a doozy? Meh, Ive had worse!!
all resin cockpit, with a few additions from yours truly
I went with NMF for this bird, and picked out a few different shades. Fuselage is krylon rattle can, Wings are Testors aluminum rattlecan, and the rest were various mixtures of Testors enamels that I applied by brush
None of the H models saw wartime service, but I stuck on some WW2 markings as a sort of "What if"

P-51H Mustang, Shillelagh
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others
Re: P-51H Mustang, Shillelagh
Another Beaut! And very bealivable in that scheme.
Those rattle cans work well - thats how I did my P-51.

Great build Owl. I also use rattle cans for most of my builds nowadays. And I think NMF is actually very easy with a rattle can. I like the different shades and the fact that the NMF is not shiney. Aluminum get dull fast and you replicated that perfectly.

Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

Re: P-51H Mustang, Shillelagh
nice work on this one, Ms. Owl! A beauty.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
