Carbine Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 ...Tamiya P-51B finished in Gunze lacquers, Mike Grant Decals, Ultracast prop/seat. Great fitting model and I finally got accurate 'Ding Hao!' decals that I've been waiting years for. Major Howard's aircraft when he won the Medal of Honor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie Cheslo Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Gorgeous looking Mustang. Those decals look painted on. I have heard that Mike Grant's decals are just excellent to use. Well this is proof, I would say. Congrats on a fine build. J.C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Very nice. You did a great job with that build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Migrant Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Very nice work, Carbine, glad the decals worked out for you. The Ultracast prop makes a huge difference to the look of the aircraft. Just as difficult, if not harder, to build an immaculate clean model than it is to do a weathered one. Great job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ellis Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Wow that is flaw less carbine I wish I could paint that good. Ecxellent photos too :D Whats the yellow stripe on the gear doors? Ellis (Needng a P-51B on my shelf) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pitts Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Strong work as always, brother. I especially like how the panel lines on the cowling cut through the name - almost looks like you planned it that way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carbine Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 ....Thanks for all your comments guys.... Whats the yellow stripe on the gear doors? Ellis, I'm sorry I didn't see your question till just now. The chromate yellow stripes on the main gear doors are actually a reinforced panel that is deisgned to firmly hold the wheel in place once the gear is retracted. There are color photographs showing in theatre P-51B aircraft with these panels painted chromate yellow, and I followed suit on Ding Hao. Thanks Ellis, HTH ........!
