mlicari Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Very nice! I'm building the AM P-51A right now, and if I can get mine to look half as good as yours I'll be happy! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Yeah i have that kit too! They can be a real pain to put together especially the rear canopy section the half round window.... whoa. They're a lot of effort for such a small thing but look good in the end. Benny Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've built the F-6 recon version, and had trouble lining up the aft part of the cockpit as well. AM kits always seem to have a "fussy" part. ;) Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilpwnp Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Nice! You're paint chipping is some of the best I've seen, I've been wanting to build that kit myself - good work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjo Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) More pics! Ah, the prop looks a bit funny eh???? hope you like the P-51C as well. Benny Edited June 27, 2009 by benjo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did stop building after encountering too much strangeness haha. AT least it got done. Benny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjo Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 actually guys, i was just looking through the stash and found the 1/48 ICM P-51D and the P-51A, which seem to be half and half accurate miiatures and half tamiya, anybody can confirm this??? do they still go together?

Benny From what I've read the ICM Mustangs are copies of the Tamiya kits, but having never built a Tamiya Mustang I can neither confirm or deny this. I just picked up the ICM P-51A and it looks like a real nice kit, I was very suprised at the level of detail and quality of the moldings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afyeats Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) I am converting an Accurate Minatures P-51A into a RAF Mustang I with help from Ultracast. The eight gun (4 x .303 and 4 x .50) version was the first to fight and to get a FW-190 during the Dieppe Raid in 1942. Ironically, the pilot was an American flying with the RCAF. Go figure..........
