3 or 4 years ago I had the bright idea to try and build alot of Mustangs. Well it worked. Here is my time lapse of building 5 Airfix and 2 Academy 1/72 Mustangs      Completed from top left LouIV (Academy D-5) Moonbeam McSwine, Kelly Kid, Gay Crusader, Hell-er Bust, and Down for Double (All Airfix)  Last one finished 'Ol Flak Joe (Academy) My current total is 12 completed 1/72 Mustangs |

A guy did the entire squadron of the Burma Banshees P-40's Man that is just somethin' right there!! I'm glad somebody can pull something like that off. I'd go stark ravin' nuts. I knew I'd find it somewhere. This......is Tucohoward's stash of 109's.  |

WOW! Now you have more than enough to take down the whole Luftwaffe! Great work on the P-51s and the green one with invasion stripes is definitely my favorite.
I see that you are located in SW Florida. My parents live in Venice and I visit them 2-3 times a year but I couldn't find a nice hobby shop out there so where do you shop down there?

Andy I just saw this. I'm in Naples. The best shop is in Ft. Myers Beach. Victory models. Its about an hour north of me probably 45 minutes south of Venice. Let me know when you're in the area. Can meet and talk plastic |

Well now, that is impressive as all get out. Impressive Mustangs along with impressive fortitude. Those 1/72 Airfix kits are pretty nice though. Have you checked out Arma Hobby's 1/72 P-51B's? The are absolutely gorgeous kits.
