RESTORATION: North American P-51D Mustang
41-4164, 375th FS 361st FG, England,1944

Restoration of the first ever 1/48 WW2 aircraft kit I made myself, likely ca. 1990. Restoration involved reversal of a terrible generic RAAF restoration conducted ca. 2006, including removal of incorrect thick hardware store paints and over used glues - including completely fused prop. Had to purchase a decal set from a supplier in US, but they were delivered quickly and in good condition (little yellowing to some stencils). Very happy with the outcome despite evidence of some damage from initial construction and subsequent 'restoration', looking like the image on the box art - as I had hoped to create around 35 years beforehand!
