Friends! Thanks for keeping me company!
Both Mustangs are now finished so here’s a final gallery post!
We’ll start with the first Mustang to make an emergency landing in Sweden in May 1944, it later became the only B-Mustang to actually fly with the SwAF:
And here’s the photo recon machine:
It turned out that I have a whole little family of Mustangs at home:
The green D-Mustang is an Airfix kit that I built ten years ago, while the B-Mustang with the odd paint job is even older.
I really liked the Academy kit, it is a nice build but there are huge differences compared to the Arma Hobby kit. The Academy wing has very large wing root chord and the small windows behind the canopy are also very different. I don’t have an unbuilt Academy kit, otherwise it would have been interesting to compare the kits!
Both have now moved to the collection!
