Eduard P-51B 1/48 “Operation Overlord Part 1”

[Green KreationZ]

Excited to share my completed opened Eduard P-51B 1/48 as my first contribution to an Operation Overlord Group Build I’m participating in. This build went together in just over a month along with 2 other fighters which really challenged my pacing.

This plane and the other fighters are planned to be part of a maintenance diorama in the upcoming few weeks. Expect to see the other fighters in a day or two 😅.

Kit: Eduard P-51B Mustang Royal Edition 1/48 + Brassin Engine & Gun Bays

You have a knack for taking an ordinary build and turning it into a literal work of art! Your attention to detail at this scale is inspiring!

Beautiful job - so much detail. And I really like the weathering on the NMF. Well done.

[brandonk]

Wow, this is a spectacular build. Nothing short of amazing all over.

I have never seen on of these up close, only in photos. But this looks spot on. Really well done. The weathering, and chipping its all jsut really really great.

Appreciate that. I was nervous about weathering and how I would do it. It seemed much more challenging to weather the high gloss surfaces over matte which I’m more familiar with.

When I grow up I want to build like this. As if. LOL. Just another stunning build from start to finish. I always enjoy following along with your incredible builds. It's a beauty.

Thanks TJ! I did make a slight mistake on the nose. Apparently the tip was rubber and should not have any chipping.
