P-51D Detroit Miss Custom 1:18

Post by pokeyjtc » Tue Mar 06, 2007 2:14 am

Here's my lastest custom. I gave the BBI Old Crow a repaint to Urban Drew's Detroit Miss. Let me know what you think.

Excellent work as always. AC Customs are so daunting - I applaud you. :shock:

It looks very well done. I applaud you as well because like digger says, it can be daunting.

Awesome job on "Detroit Miss". After looking at your pictures it reminds me to get going on my P-51 project "Frenesi" but it's still a bit to cold around here to paint in the garage. Oh well, spring is coming, isn't it?
