I have a very large stash of Airfix Mustangs(umm..18 of them). Time to build 5 at once. This is the second time I've done this. The kit is really good and goes together easily. My stash of aftermarket decals makes this a very colorful endeavor. ![]()  |

Making any progress TJ? I’m anxious to see the liveries you choose 👍 Sorry for the late reply. Haven't had alot of time at the bench. But did get the majority of assembly done.  The schemes I've chosen.  The kit Red Tail scheme from the 332nd FG  Both of these versions of Man O War  Pegasis the middle of these. I've already done the other two  And the venerable Petie 3rd |

Great to see these on your bench again! These are really nice kits. The only issues, which have been known since they came out, are the control stick and dorsal antenna are next to impossible to get off the sprue without breaking. And the weak landing gear struts. Red Roo in Australia makes a 3D printed fix for all these issues. Problem is they can't make them fast enough. Also I want to get my stash of these built. I just ordered the new Eduard D |
