This is the second project on my bench at the moment.

Borrowed from the Hasegawa site

This is intended to be a cut away project and it is intended for attempted submission to a magazine.

More on this build to follow. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Many thanks all for looking in.

Mike I believe I will be going for "Helen". The box are subject has a bit more intense paint scheme.

Hasegawa 1/32 P-51D First Cuts

First cuts.

Over the last day or so it has been Dremmel and Exacto time.

The most frightening moment of a build like this is that first cut. After that there is no turning back.

And the cuts.

I am going where the feeling takes me at this point. I think the wing will be first up. Going to tackle it a bit different.


Till next time.....

Hasegawa 1/32 P-51D Wing Work Begins

Wing work has started.

Over the last couple of weeks I have spent some time getting the wing and its components ready to go.

Hasegawa 1/32 P-51D Wing Frame Color

Well folks time to bore you with another brief status update.

Color on the wing framework. Color on the fuel tank. Work on the gun bay and start up on the .5 cals in the wing.

I went with Yellow Zinc Chromate

I know not much. Kind of boring. I have stalled trying to figure out the color to use. I went with my best guess and what was logical.
