SPA Modeler

I think I will have to start with this guy. I have have so many P-51D decals and I just love this kit. So many mems..

I'm in. Put me down for the OA-4M which I'm going to have to scratch a new horizontal stabilizer for. And the Six

Just ordered some new RAF/USAAF decals and an IP for this.

Amd this'll be my 2nd build - always wanted to do Detroit Miss...

Be prepared for a lot of filling and sanding on that lower cowling! Apparently, Revell fixed the cowling panel when they re-boxed it as Big Beautiful Doll. I'm a sucker for box art though and I love he box art on the kit you picked!

Thanks cb, that's good to know!

Heh, heh, no kidding! That lower cowl piece on my Mono Mustang "Detroit Miss" never did fit right. At the time it was built, I didn't have the knowledge or ability to "fix" it, but there is a honking big gap fore and aft. In truth, that is the main reason that it's never been out to the airport to stand before the camera. The second kit I have, the one missing the clear parts sprue, may be a better fit, can't really tell much on the sprues. Still, I hope I get a positive reply from Revell because I do want to build it again.

Nice score on the P-40 Stuart!

Thanks!

Looking forward to getting started on it.

I think this one fits the bill, it has been in my stash for a very long while:



It will be 2nd Phantom of the year and I am not sure when I will fit this into the schedule, but I will find a way!
