Hey lads, another quicky, this time a 1/72 new tool Airfix P-51d in the colors of the Fuerza Aerea Doninicana during the 1980's "socker wars"

very nice indeed, what brand of aftermarket decals did you use?

Very nice Theuns

A nice tidy build Theuns. Nice to see something a little out side the box.

Thanx lads. It is all out the box, including the decals that are supplied with the newtool Airfix 1/72 P-51d. They actually give and extra sprue for the dallas canopy , uncuffed prop and rockets plus USAF Korea decals.

You mean the F-51D kit Theuns? I have it and it looks to be a great model. Does the P-51D kit not have the propeller and hood options?

 

[T. van Vuuren]

Indeed the D. It is the kit with the shark mouth Korea USAF plane on the boxart.

 

[flyjoe180]

Yep, I have that one and it looks like a nice kit, but I was wondering though whether the P-51D kit (as opposed to the F-51D version here) like the kit Francesco built recently had the canopy and propeller options.

 

[Ziper_it]

No propeller option on my kit but the old and new canopy (can't remember the name) were in.

In the kit I did (can't remember the kit #) they give you both the cuffed and uncuffed Hamilton porps aswell as the two different canopies to do either a P-51d or a F-51d. The decals in my kit was for a UASF Korea F-51d and the FAD P-51d
