  1/24 scale Airfix P-51

  Okay, okay...you guys were right. The Airfix kit is very old, and not real detailed, but it is big, and is fun to build, and I'm a cheapskate. And my wife would scream if I told her the price of the Trumpeter kit. I built this one right out of the box, only added the Eduard seat belts and Eagle Strike decals. I used different shades of Allclad aluminums to get the varied oxidation effect. I bought some Waldron gauges, not knowing I needed a special punch, so I just used the ones in the kit. I thinned some flat black and dabbed a drop over each face on the clear insert, then dry-brushed flat white over the raised surfaces. This is also my first attempt at smoke...please don't laugh! I guess I need a better airbrush, eh?

  The Jeep is the Hasegawa kit, very nicely detailed, great parts fit. To get the wiper pattern on the windshield, I cut some masking tape and taped it over the windshield, then sprayed it with clear Testor's Dullcote.

  Many thanks to Steve for providing us a place to display our craft.
