Here's a P-51B mustang (Shillelagh) I just finished. It is one that is being restored by the company my dad works for, some of his parts are already on it. Here's a link to the company's updates

I assembled it from a $30 dollar kit and used my airbrush set up to paint it. I have one of the top of the line airbrush setups with $400 invested.

Here's a pic of the real thing.

That is very cool. Here is part of a
friend's Dad's obituary. He passed 11/21.
He was a couple months shy of 100 years
old.

He flew over 129 combat missions. He
started flying in the P-47 Thunderbolt
and later got to fly the P-51 Mustang
with the Rolls Royce engine. He said it
was an excellent plane to fly. He was
awarded an Air Medal with 2 oak leaf
clusters, American Theater Ribbon,
Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal,
Philippine Liberation Medal, a Bronze
Star and a World War II Victory Medal
 
SMS commemorative comments are really cool. My moms brother was an aircraft mechanic stationed near Dover England fixing P-51s. He indicated that the task was to make them fly reliably. He said they often came in unable to take off. Jim
