1/48 Accurate Miniatures P-51

Hi again.  Here's my P-51 from Accurate Miniatures.  I was quite excited to build this one since it was my first time to build an AM kit.  Although an excellent kit out of the box, I decided to do some modifications.  I cut the flaps and elevators and positioned them in the dropped position.  I also used a Tamiya P-51B canopy so that I could open up the cockpit, and since the inner framing of the canopy door would be quite visible when opened, I also masked and painted it too.  The pilot's rear armor plate is from Tamiya  and the belts are from the Eduard set.

The propeller blades were quite thick, so I sanded them down to scale.

I used Gunze Mr. Color and Tamiya paints on the model.

Hope you guys like it. 

Noel
