Hi everyone. Here's
my P-51D Mustang built on the Italeri kit. I didn't use any after market items
to enhance this kit. It took me 2 years to finish this kit as I decided to
apply aluminum foil over the fuselage. The rest of the kit was hand painted (I
used Humbrol enamel paints).

The Italeri kit has
several flaws that could be more or less easily corrected. The canopy has to be
corrected or replaced (I chose to correct it using plastic card).
70% of the cockpit was made of
thick aluminum foil (including the harness and seat buckles). All in all this
project required a lot of work and elbow grease. I hope that you have enjoyed
the pictures. Many thanks to Steve and all the contributors+readers.
