Down for Double - P-51D Mustang

I built this one about 8 years ago for a friend. Classic but still fantastic Tamiya kit in 48th scale. So great actually that some of the parts aren't even glued together. Basic Eduard zoom PE set and quickboost exhausts are the only aftermarket used. Oh, and Aeromaster decals... This was more or less a study in natural metal finishes using Alclad paints. Still one of my favourite builds... 

A study in NMF - P-38 Lightning

I don’t know why, but I like to build a model with interesting markings flown by unknown pilot. Beautiful aircraft deserves a beautiful lady, so Vivacios Virgin II, flown by Ian B. Mackenzie  in Belgium in  1944 was my choice. Decals came from Kagero topcolors book. I can't remember exactly how many different shades of Alclad paints were used on this one, but I am more than satisfied with the end result. Although Hasegawa's lightning is pretty old kit, it was pleasurable build.
