P-51B Mustang

Tamiya 1/48. Does the P-51B have 110 gallon paper droptanks or the 75 gallon droptanks
Which is the best company to order the tanks from.

No only the P-51D version have them , for the moment I only now that Verlinden you's to make them but its a little exp and you have to buy the whole set its VL1407 in the catalouge https://i.servimg.com/u/f82/14/22/55/57/140711.jpg

The problem is the kit only gives the paper drop tanks, so I can not put them on the model

Yes I now , your father told me I don't have any extra tanks , may be some other members have or leave it with out its normal they came back with out the fuel tanks after a combat.........

any photos of the drop tanks?
maybe i have some in the spares box

I will to get back to you about the pictures, but Marco gave me an idea . Since they usually came back without the drop tanks leaving them out is a great idea.

Great news I just spraypainted the Underside of the Mustang.

Take some pics when finished

you might not enjoy building a crib but take it as a model skill honing excersise

a lovely paint job William, it looks good. Do you intend experimenting with some paint fading? The olive drab was very prone to fading. I can see your father's trend coming out in your work. The jig is his trademaek. Keep up this excellent work and show us more as you go along.

Well done Willie, it shows you have a great mentor, follow his footsteps ... Bravo.

William, I have an idea for the Crib, do it with space marnes and name it Presepju 40,000AD would surely look out of the ordinary and different from the rest

Issa nistaqsi l- missieri re paint fading

Thanks for the tip

William if you are using the compucolor paints they have a tin called faded olive drab. If your dad does not have one i can lend you mine it is brand new and you can use it for the mustang. you only need to fade the paint in places like the spine of the fuselage and the wing leading edges, wingwalks and some panels but it will look great. if you need it tell me.

I was just gonne post about that,'the Mustang is in fact sprayed with the faded olive drab because that's the only one I could find my dad had about 3 olive drab tins but labels fall of the compucolor tins so better safe than sorry

I don't know the difference between the 2 colours maybe it looks unfaded because of my dad's paint cocktail
