The Rat Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) I've had this in the stash for a couple of years, and the only thing I've managed to do in that time is slap some interior paint on it. Soooooo, out it comes, and she will become, hopefully, a Red Tail! I've got the Academy P-51C with two decal options, so if all goes according to plan Lt. Col. Lee Archer will be screaming over Korea in "INA The MACON BELLE", as perhaps he and the rest of his fellow every-day heroes should have been.

Philp Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Dang it Rat, didn't I post this idea over on Whatifmodeler? Well, maybe not. Course, I am doing mine as US '46 but was thinking of doing Lee's bird. After all, the decals come in the Academy kit. Now, if I could find Ben's markings... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rat Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well, this one is not going to be done in time. My admittedly limited skills weren't incapable of slapping something together in time for the end of the GB, but this isn't something that I would want do a quick job on. This is a Tuskegee Airmen aircraft, and they deserve better than that. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alvis 3.1 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I concur. Better to do a good job than a slapped together mess to meet a deadline. I reserve that sort of work for the real world! Alvis 3.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
