1/48 Revell P-51B

Post by silentbob33 »

For my next build I'll be tackling Revell's 1/48 P-51B. I'll be doing the markings of "Pappy's Answer" of the 364th FS, 357th FG.

So far I've finished up the cockpit. A little basic, but still detailed enough for me. It's all OOB except for some PE belts.

Thanks guys!

So I got the fuselage together:

Next up is the wings. The ports for the machine guns are just holes so I figure I need to put something in there. At first I thought I could use some sprue and drill some holes in the ends, but the sprues were too thick. Then I remembered I had some spare flash supressors from a Monogram P-38.

Looks good enough to me

That should work! Looks good.
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!"..

Very nice - That's coming along superbly! Your cockpit looks great.

I have a Tamiya P-51B that I'm planning on building as Ding Hao!
