Title: 2 in 24
Post by: Brian da Basher on January 15, 2020, 04:44:13 AM

Built these two inside of 24 hours recently, old-school like I might've when I was a lad. Just to shake the cobwebs off.

Box-scale Monogram P-40N:

1/72 Matchbox P-51D Mustang:

I wasn't going to bother posting these but then I thought maybe someone in a rut might get some inspiration.

Bonus P-51D pic:

Many thanks to Bill for sending me these classics. I couldn't have done it without him!

Brian da Basher builds kits with cockpits and clear canopies?

WHO ARE YOU?

They look good, though.

Clear canopies and standard markings! He's just trying to confuse us Frank  ;)

Nice work Brian  :smiley:

There's wee pilots in there too!   :D

I enjoyed getting back to basics for a bit. I got lucky finding an old custom paint mix that almost matched the P-51's green plastic.

I left it au naturel down below.

If you're suffering from builder's block, these old kits are a great cure. You can get them real cheap so no huge loss if you bodge it and you can just let yourself go and have fun.

Good looking fast builds that don't look rushed.
