1/48 Tamiya P-51C Mustang

by Tolga ULGUR

--------------------

 

This is my 1/48 Tamiya P-51C Mustang finished with the markings of 43-24959 Gladys from 26th FS 51st FG in Kunming China during 1944 autumn. 

The construction started  with the painting of cockpit components to US interior green.  The cockpit floor was corrected by adding a cardboard piece painted to wooden color. The cockpit is modified with some beauties from several companies.
