HGE Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 :D Can you believe I bought one of these recently at my local hobby shop ( complete with a patch you can sew on a jacket!! ) The hobby shop is only about a year old so how it got there is an act of fate! I've been collecting 1/72 mustangs for my future dream build of course! :D Now I'm wishing Academy would do an A-36!!!! after their wonderful P-51A kit! Do you guys think the F-82 is to far out of scale to be part of this collection or not? Academy P-51A Academy P-51B Academy P-51C Tamiya P-51D Tamiya F-51D ---------- F-51H Monogram F-82G Thanks, Henry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Lim Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Well the nitpicky would say the Twin Mustang was not actually made with two Mustang bodies but who cares. Go for it. Just hope your Twin is better than the repulsive Hobbycraft kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theplasticsurgeon Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Most books on the Mustang include a section on the F-82, so I regard it as part of the collection. My 1/72 Mustang collection contains: Monogram North American F-82G Twin-Mustang USAF 4FS Matchbox North American F-86A Sabre USAF 4 FIW Matchbox North American P-51 Mustang IV RAF 19 Sqdn Italeri North American P-51A Allison Mustang USAAF Mah sweet Academy North American P-51B Mustang USAAF Airfix North American P-51B Mustang USAAF 355FG Hasegawa North American P-51B Mustang USAAF 4FG Shangri La Revell North American P-51B Mustang USAAF 4FG Bald Eagle Revell North American P-51B Mustang III RAF 315 Sqdn Airfix North American P-51D Mustang USAAF 352FG Hasegawa North American P-51D Mustang USAAF 332FG 2001 Hasegawa North American P-51D Mustang USAAF 352FG ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just hope your Twin is better than the repulsive Hobbycraft kit. Ken From the reading I've done the old Monogram F-82 is the best example in any scale, despite its age. I forget who used to make detail ste for it but its by far best starting point for a Twin Mustang I know of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Just hope your Twin is better than the repulsive Hobbycraft kit. Isn't the Hobbycraft kit a re-do of the Monogram one? I have both in the stash and they're identical. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
