"NM" 188FS ANG Mustang

Subject:: North American F-51D Mustang
US Air Force (1947-now)
New Mexico ANG
Scale:: 1:48
Status:: Completed
Started:: March 10, 2021
Completed:: May 29, 2021
Time spent:: 50 hours

Started as a simple build for a single post-war F-51D in ANG service, took a turn when I was gifted a second kit (Revell P-51D half-built), then it REALLY took a turn when I realized my first kit (Eduard P-51-D5) lacked the "filet" tail necessary for a post war aircraft.

Started as simple single subject build with the Eduard "Frenesi" P-51D-5, but then came into a 1:48 Revell P-51D that had been started, but badly done and abandoned. Seeing an opportunity to compare the two kits and build them up as squadron mates with the Ventura decals, it kinda snowballed.
