Couple of P-51B Mustang at 1/144th scale
« on: September 10, 2011, 07:39:51 PM »
Here is a build I've begun last year with my friend Pascal Coupienne, and that we have just finished yesterday!

Pasacl comes one time each month in my workbench and we work together on a common project. So last year we decided to build the 1/144th scale P-51B Mustang from Sweet (there were two aircrafts in the box). Of course, with only a sitting by month and some months where it was not possible to meet, the delay of one year is not unreal...

Sweet makes splendid little kits. Those P-51 were a pleasure to build. The only problem from Sweet is the quality of the decals: not exceptional, and even with a lot of attention we were unable to avoid some silvering...

But anyway it was a fun build, and to work in common is very interresting and enriching for both of us.

Pascal not only makes kit alone, but he is also building a real plane (Kiebitz)!

Actually he haves not many time for modeling due to the Kiebitz; when he will have finished he will probably join us.
