Trust me, theres no tease, and I would love to show yall the pictures but im away and this is someone elses computer!! Its killin me I cant show ya, but trust me once I get back ill show everyone, but it is pretty cool. I had to cut it in two, and make it smaller in the back just because it was a little too long, and I had to add another 30 cal mg to the turret in the back. Just one thing that might kill some excitement, I glued the landing gear in landing position just because I couldnt find a way to make it work. Once I get back im gonna show all of you guys asap.

OK , ive got bad news, but then really good news for P-51 fans who arent really intersted in the same ol ones that are out on the market, and a bigilion repaints. I had to put aside my helldiver because I had that, and a P-51c/b mustang in the works. I only had enough material for one project as of today, and I chose the P-51c/b. Sorry for getting your hopes up about the Helldiver, but no worrys, its in progress, but you should see some progress pics tonight, or maybe even a complete pic tonight. Its gonna be in the Shangra Li paint sheme.

Ok Tobin where are they? A P-51B/C in the markings of Shangri La? Your killing me buddy, you really are. Maybe, just maybe, one of the big 3 will see your work and decide to make one for us as well? I cant wait to see the pics.

The only hard thing to do on this custom is the canopy. I would like to see how you tackled that.

Actually this was going to be my next step by step project. The P-51 or a Fw-190a . The short nose one. I have done one before and it took about 40 hours to do.
