I get scared when I hear, "What if" from people like you. You do unique things and I dare not guess how far you would go even with an old model.

I'll try not to spook anyone on here Zhivko! I have tried to tighten up the old build a little and hope to have a revamp-refresh soon. It's poignant really, I remember building this just before my first child was born and he's now 27!

Thanks Shar- a bit of a retro "try again" - a warm up on the metallics before the other P-51 and P-47
@Rui and others: thanks!

Calling it 95% complete- have ordered the remaining stencils that I don't want to take from the Tamiya kit.
@Franck- thanks!
Thanks Josef and the others for the look-in on this small side diversion

There are two important things about models. We should have fun while building and we should like the end result. If others like them, that's a bonus. I personally like the model. My Mustang didn't turn out so well, but now we're talking about yours. Tell us about the weathering, how exactly did you achieve it?

Zhivko, thanks for the comment, and you've hit the nail on the head regarding the enjoyment of the hobby. Looking through your prolific work I can't imagine that your P-51 would have been so problematic? I will have a look at your builds when next I come to a subject we've both tackled in 72nd. Weathering: I'm beginning to understand how to use Tamiya's X-19 smoke to add some contrast. I used a little oils courtesy of Abteilung (umber & smoke), plus Windsor & Newton burnt umber. Not too much on this one as I'm trying a light touch to weathering.
@Marius- thanks

Album info
A model I built in the mid-90s.
What started as replacing a prop blade has now become a "what if we repaint and decal it while we're at it"?
I won't use the Quick Boost prop, I will transfuse the prop from my Tamiya P-51D and their "Petie 2nd" scheme to replace what I'll lose here.
