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.

Yeah... ...I've got that too.

Oh, and, HOLY CRAP!!! She cut the wings off a blue Mustang!!!! What madness is this??!??!

WOW - looking forward to seeing the wing-fold!

ah, yeah. Its all crazy up in this joint

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)

That wingfold just makes it great!

Wow! Now that just cool! Nice work on the wing fold!
