My P51 Mustang
My P51 Mustang
Hi All:
I recently purchased and finally opened the Algo / Ultimate Soldier Tuesday Morning P51 and took some shots.
Let me first say that for those of you thinking about purchasing this airplane or comparing it to the Tuesday Morning Focke-Wulf, I find it more detailed. Let's take a look:
In color, unedited
Vintage shot in sepia
Flying (oil color)
Up-close (note: the P51 includes a second set of windshield pieces to place in an open position as pictured).
Color flight edit
Pictured with Focke-Wulf
I must say that I really like this plane despite the lack of a pilot - can't beat the price for $9.99 before tax.
Comments welcome.

Very nice Karl!! I have the 21st version of Shangri-La and it is my favorite B model with Double Nuthin' as my favorite D.

Re: My P51 Mustang
I find this actually disappointing I have the 21ct version " bald eagle " and I was thinking that the allgo releases would be a bit more detailed then the 21ct versions and I had no idea they don't come with a pilot but other then that those are great pictures.

Re: My P51 Mustang
It's a great plane for ten bucks! I think a lot of our forum members have purchased this plane in bulk to create their own squadron or to create downed aircraft. Thanks TM. (Hopefully TM will find some more and different planes...)

Re: My P51 Mustang
Thanks all for the nice comments. I really enjoy setting up and photographing military vehicles/aircraft like this. The P51 has a nice variety of colors which I think adds to the nice detail and results when picturing. I actually picked up a couple myself at the $9.99 price. Perhaps we'll see some more TM planes in the future.

Re: My P51 Mustang
This might be a little off topic but on the back of the allgo 1:48 red tails P-51 box it shows other aircraft like the F-104 and says "collect them all" but I don't think I've heard of a 1:48 F-104 by allgo anyone have an idea why it says that if there's not any out there?

Re: My P51 Mustang
Great picture I especially like your use of the kneeling mortar crew figure as a maintenance guy. I know maintenance workers wouldn't have worn helmets, but it still looks great! Barrels and boxes complete the effect. I think I'm going to have to do something similar for one of my little dios
One point of criticism, however, in that Gentile's plane was based in England, where there are no alpine peaks as shown in your background. That is particularly the case in the southeast region of England where most US planes were stationed and even in western France. Something more like rolling farmland or perhaps hills would really be more appropriate and add to the realistic effect
An alpine background would really work well with a German plane or the "Double Nuthin" P-51D (which was in the Italian theater).
