First of is a Hasegawa-Kit finished as Maj. Richard Peterson´s “Hurry Home Honey”. It is build OOB with EagleStrike Decals. The D-Day-Stripes are handbrushed which was quite horrifying – it´s not that easy to get a good paintjob with Tamiya Flat White! But I am very astound of how it went out!

Second is my little trouble-kit. A Tamiya Model with some aftermarket products in it. I used the Aires Cockpit and Wheel-Bay, the Ultracast Early-Mustang Tail, True Details Tires and Decals from Mike Grant (which were a gift from Jim Anderson who runs www.cebudanderson.com). It is finished as Capt Charles K. Peters “Daddy Rabbit” – I think it is obvious why I wanted to build this plane – but no, we are not related. ( In fact my grandfather changed his family name during WW2 from Przinda to Peters – don´t know why but it sounds much better!)

Third is once more a Tamiya-Kit OOB with Cutting Edge Decals. Finished as Maj Pierce W. McKennon´s “Ridge Runner III”. There is nothing important to say about this model – it was a relaxing build during a holiday of mine last year.

I really do hope, that you´re not bored with my Mustangs – because there will be some more in the future!

All the best from Germany,

Kai
