I love browsing claveworks occasionally.
The stangs looking good. Thought you would have airbrushed it since you have a stack of others to be done.

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Quite and adventure going on here. Looks good so far!
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!"..

Re: navy mustang, 1/72
sooo, dunno if yall caught it in my IPMS thread, but the little navy-stang is finished!
I still have to go get some "finished" photos, but for now, here she is!
P-51J/F1J-5 "seahorse"
for the naval designation, most aircraft at the time were designated based on the manufacturer/production: (status prefix)(type)(manufacturer sequence)(manufacturer code) -- (configuration number) (general purpose/modifications). So, for the P-51, the operational model wold not have the X/Y prefix, F for fighter, 1 for manufacturer sequence (making the FJ Fury the second plane ordered from North American--F2J Fury?), J for the manufacturer code, and configuration 5 (a model mustang is 1, b mustang is 2, c is 3, d is 4, H/J would be 5), and I figured it might have a special purpose designator to show that it is a navalized version, but Im not sure what the code would be; (N was for nightfighter, C for carrier??); Thus F1J-5(C)
