Reviewing the Allison mustang

[birder]

A couple update pics, no time to set up any better ones, but not quite finished,
I had to change the roundel style as am attempting to represent the mustang II
or P-51 A without nose guns, 2 50's in the wing each side, which is a bit later than Leif's coloring scheme. That this throws coloring and numbering off a bit ...
its the best I could do for now. I think the skins of this model go together very well, would have liked more formers to fit the wing to the fuse, but I removed the part of the wing skin that goes under the fuse and that worked out not too bad for fit. Some little parts I used from other 51 models, gear details and tank pylons, but definately winding down, a few details to polish up but not too sure when the time will allow. I also would like to make one of Sumato's airliners...so thinking about other projects..

Nice work, Glen. Always liked the A.

Those two natural light photos are stunning. I'm so happy the model is turning out this well! - Leif

A beautiful model, Glen!

Thank you Yoav, Whulsey, Leif and Don, such distinguished visitors! I took a couple more quick pics in daylight such as it is today, the parts incomplete are the distinctive pitot tube of the early P-51, the ailerons are actually temporary, and was thinking of drop tanks similar to the f4f I recently did as are contemporary and look like they may be the same, a couple shots to show some detail not visible on prior photos.

Leif you should not be surprised the model comes out well as isn't a bad model at all, and with the add ons and research you and Mike have done is a decent representation of this less known group of Mustangs

Very nice photos Glen.
The close-up of the landing gear showcases some terrific work.

Thanks Mike!

It's such a fine model you've made, Glen! I'm particularly happy the thin waistline is as apparent as it was on the original of this early Mustang.

I hope the photos catch the eyes of Chris (Gutzmer) or Robert (3Turner). Should be included on Ecardmodels' site!

Congratulations, and once again, thank you for this build!

It was really quite fun to do this one Leif, thanks for the kind comment
