My Mustang, Albeit a 1/72nd scale model

`

Very, very nice job on that kit !

I went to Raydon a few years back (they had a Bi-Annual Airshow at the time)

Great day out & got to see the Raydon-marked (Scand'-Hist'-Flight) P.51 in action

That & TWO (IIRC) Grumman F.3-F biplanes (just like the new Hobbymaster diecast in 1/48th)

When i can find them i'll post-up my B-17 Our Gal Sal, From the Bloody Hunderdth.

Much to my surprise, I've just rediscovered this "backwater" scale modelling thread section on the forum.

Very disheartened reading the diecast section & the near assassination of the Corgi Stirling from some chumps who clearly don't own one
('trench lines', 'toylike' & which they can clearly execute better themselves ~ nor do they remotely have the faintest 'clue' about collectability, nor secondhand-values, or future investment(s) ~ Thankfully, we're not ALL narrow-minded idiots, or everyone roving-round with a set of calipers measuring panel-depths, or even grasping a remote knowledge of digital-imagery & what it CAN highlight, or, overemphasize !!!!!!! )

Airfields-Man ; Have enjoyed reading your contributions though this whole section however & have just arrived at page 4 & your lush Raydon Mustang.
(I'd long-since forgotten that I'd even participated in answering, or having seen it before, such is the passage of time).

I'm naturally assuming it's the 'later' series.2 "boxed" P.51 Mustang.
Clearly NOT the old "Bag & Staples" 9th A.F 'Red-Stripe' offering, nicknamed 'Fools Paradise' with it's 'A9-A' fuselage codes (Yep, I'm old-enough to remember that nostalgic kit)


Now, regarding your quote (the 100th Bomb Group's "Our Gal Sal" Boeing B.17) = Any chance we can have a look, assuming that either the kit you made, or it's photographs of, still survive ?????
