Airfix 1/72 P-51D "Lollipoop II"

[Frank3k]

This is an OOB build of the Airfix 1/72 P-51D.

Ralph is an older neighbor one street over. He's very well versed in the exploits of the Tuskegee Airmen and the 100th Fighter Squadron and even has a WWII flying helmet in his home office.

The Airfix kit depicts 1LT Spurgeon Neal Ellington's P-51D. It was a quick and easy build and it comes with an extensive decal sheet (I only applied about half). The end result - for such a quick build - is pretty nice. The only addition is the base, which is from Round 2.

I'll give it to Ralph this week.





I took off the scrap of plastic on the starboard wing:

I like that the model also kind of looks like a lollipop thanks to the stick of the stand.

nice job! 

Ralph will like it no doubt

Nice work! Those new little Airfix kits are sweet.

Thanks, guys. Ralph loved it and it'll be on display in his office, once he's done reorganizing. His wife asked "lolli-poop?" Ralph thinks that's really the name and not just an odd spelling of Lollipop.

The modern Airfix kits are great! I just find real world builds less interesting than whiffs. An out of the box build even less so,

Said it a hundred times or more: you can't go wrong with a Red Tail!

Nice work ! Glad your friend liked the build.

You could easily Photoshop out the stand and make some cracking pictures
