Danstream Posted July 31, 2022 #43 Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) You got a clean, sharp looking, head turner model there. A very complex, multi-colors scheme that looks very well done which, as I said above and in the title, it is a beauty. Well done! Dan PS: I am also impressed by the short time that you needed to build this model.

Javlin Posted July 31, 2022 Author #44 Posted July 31, 2022 I thank all of You for the kind comments and those that sent out likes.I am starting to run flat on Mojo though ATTM.I looked and looked at kits last night 250/300 unbuilts but it just was not happening for me.I worked on the wife's truck yesterday 6 hrs non-stop my body and neck were caving.I have an appointment this week to setup another nerve burn for T1/T2 and C4 probably come September/October.I may move to the other side of the shop start some wood work she does need some filing boxes for kiddies work at school bought the wood today easy-peasy.I think some of ya'll (i'm deep south) remember back when I cleared out a cache of SOD kits I will post those in the future. mtaylor, Egilman, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote

I have fun in building, painting and reading about the plane and the model, but once done, I hardly look at them any more. Actually, my latest models are in permanent loan with my LHS. He is happy so he can show them as examples of what can be done with the stuff he sells and I am happy because I do not clutter shelfs with them. Also for this reason, I keep a very limited stash and I build only the ones that I really like and that mostly I buy on the spot. At any rate, anybody has his own way to enjoy the hobby and in the moment you do not have fun anymore, you should stop with no remorses and do other things that in that moment you feel are better for you 😉.

allanyed Posted August 6, 2022 #52 Posted August 6, 2022 Your P-51 is fantastic and it brought back memories of the Red Baron P-51 that the late and great Daryl Greenamyer flew at the Reno air races and his quest for the altitude record in the F-104. I worked for PPG Coatings and Resins division back in those days which provided the technology and paint itself for the 104 and had the privilege of meeting him several times. Four of us flew up to Tonapah, Nevada from SNA in Orange County and was up close and personal at Mud Lake in 1976 when he was going for the low altitude speed record. He broke it unofficially that year, but made it official the following year.
