Hermoso. Realmente increible Gerardo. Muy buena la tecnica de la cabina tambien. Realmente te estas superando en cada modelo. Cuidado !!! Ya no mas modelos de NOBI para un maestro como Gerardo :D

All friends, THANK YOU very much for all your words. I'm sure I don't deserve as much (there are still many masters I'm following in the forums), but I'm very glad you liked it. Besides, as I said, the model is a beauty.

I just saw today that Mr. Moshe from papermodels.co.il put my picture on the web site's gallery. Yes, that is an honor too. Just like Hemingway is on the Israel version of the Mustang. Wow.

It is not a secret anymore then, we all make sounds with our models! I myself put it very close to my eye, make-believe that is a real one, and I go... FRRRRR WRRRRRRRR.... Psychology calls it "the inner child" and it is very healthy.

Luis, gracias por tus palabras. Qué bueno que te haya gustado el P-51. Y bueno, como mi esposa me dijo también, "ya estás en otro nivel".

Aunque de vez en vez haré algunos sencillos con mi hijo.

Gracias de nuevo Luis!

Hi everyone,

There are still three openings :-) I still need pictures of the completed kits and the assembly process pictures of the following three kits: Do-17, Ju-88 and Bf-109.
Any volunteers for the challange?

I'll use this opportunity to thank all those who built the kits very beautifuly and sent in their pictures, (see also the customers' work page).

Thanks, Moshe

Hi Gerardo,
Great work!
That’s what appeared on my mind’s eye during the design of the kit now can be seen from everyone.
Is it possible to share few pictures of both p51d that you’ve build?
Best Regards,
Emil Zarkov, ModelArt

Emil, Moshe
Since I have you both here :D
Maybe you would consider one more repaint of the P-51D, this time from the Pacific.
The Flying Undertaker flown by Will Shomo would be a nice subject

Dr. Zarkov. It is my honor to have you here. And an honor you liked the way Cripes A'Mighty came out.

Here are the links of my web page for the process of building both P-51's. You can click HOME on them to go to the home page, where you can find more building processes.

Thank you very much for your efforts for the Paper Modeling Community.

Hi Gerardo-

Your beautiful build has inspired me to try this one as well. Thank you so very much for the build photo's as they have come in very handy. I do have a couple questions if you can help me with.

Specifically, when I attach the wings to the main fuselage, there is a gap between segment 10 (fuselage part in front of the cockpit part and the wing. Also, When I attempt to build the cooling air intake, I am assuming that part 37 and 37a go inside of part 36. They don't seem to fit in there very well and part 37b (the black piece) as well as 35C (the rear frame piece) seem to be too small. I was also a little confused as to how the gun sight went together. I saw the picture in your build but it was a little blurry.

Thank you so much in advance. I look forward to your next build. If I can get this one to look half as good as yours, I'm going to build the P-40 next


Best Regards,
Vinh Nguyen

Gerardo, que bonito era! I love Mustang kits. This is just super clean and nice. Just a sweet little model.
