That's great Andrew , I'm not a P51 fan but that is one of the best I've seen

 

[Guest]

Cracking build Andy, looks superb mate

 

[Guest]

Bbb...limey Andrew that is very impressive indeed.


Some nice technique and work in your model. That is really the tops in model making.

[Guest]

Looks fantastic

 

[Dave W]

Great work on an old kit Andy.

 

[john i am]

Great looking p51 Andy well done I'd be well chuffed with that

 

[Ian M]

Great work Andrew. That NMF is the dogs danglies. Nice touch with the motorised propeller.


Great finish as well.

 

[papa 695]

That's a stunner Andrew great work

 

[Guest]

Nice work on the p51 Andy, how did yours go together if you don't mind me asking?

[Guest]

thanks guys, i do feel that it is one of my best so far, have fallen in love with alclad paints, but they are a bit smelly.

 

[Guest]

hi scott, how you doing. the kit was an absolute dog, nothing really went together properly and just about every part had to be fiddled with in some way or another to mate up correctly. you still at the station?

 

[Guest]

For such a poor fitting kit, that's nothing short of remarkable Andy! The finish is excellent, & the variation of panel colours gives it a rich depth that I love!


Still, shame on Airfix for reboxing this to attract unaware buyers who've seen the film.

 

[monica]

oh wow Andrew,thats a superb build,like the spinning prop ,very nicely done,

 

[flyjoe180]

If you didn't have a build thread and we knew no better this could easily be mistaken for a more state of the art modern kit. Very nicely done Andrew, your NMF finish is very well done.

 

[Guest]

Magnificent model Andrew.


The paintwork is excellent, very well done


Cheers

Hi mate yeah still there, the reason I was asking was the one I had a few years ago was a dog that needed to be put down, it got thrown in the bin so you've done really well with the build.
