No where else to post as it is not scale, Classic, OTS or N30. Modern War Bird. My second. Tom Morris kit, sheeted millennial wing, Pat Johnston plans.

Very nice Ty. I like it.
-
That's a beaut! Not a P-51 fan....but your making me rethink that! H^^
-
Looks good Ty! I'm partial to OD Green color schemes...can't figure out why
-
Another great looking bird from the Marcucci workshop. I'll have to come by and see in the ... flesh? dope and ink, I guess. :)

Awesome looking model!

Kit, plans, original? Wing area & power? I like the OD scheme, especially without the usual Invasion Stripes. I'm not sure why I don't like Invasion Stripes, but maybe they optically shorten the wing, or just make it too busy? Pretty easy to do, so there's not much skill involved in painting them. Yet, some seem to think they're the bee's knees and should go on any & every WWII aeroplane. Much prettier than a Spitfar (sic), anyway, Glenn! S?P Steve

Super nice, Ty, and good to see the early airframe.
I'm a fan of the razorback designs (and most other WW II fighters ;D).

Scratch build or kit Ty? The wing is sheeted rather then open bay, or is it foam? Very nice. Don (Dominic) Gentiles "Shangri La" 8th AF ace, 30 kills (21+ in the air).

Looks great. H^^

Way cool Ty!

Dominic Gentile (a fine Irish lad) started out in the razor back P47, then his entire squadron was switched over to the P 51B with only a few hours of instruction. This was before the D-Day invasion, thus no stripes, which I don't much care for. I have to say, I do think the Spitfire and Elizabeth Taylor are the two most beautiful things ever to come out of the British Isles. Well, the Jaguar ain't too bad either. D>K y1
He's reputed to have said: 'We can learn to fly them on the way to the target...' (or words to that effect).

Ty,
Nice looking model, you did a great job! H^^
Tom Morris kit. Contest grade wood and wing built with a dihedral, 1.125" I believe, correct?
Any issues there with the flap control horn? Two horns?
I've read comments on flying with dihedral, there's no difference.
But the model certainly looks better with it. Much better.

I looked in Stunt Hangar Hobby and didn't see any such kit listed, nor any other kits. Does that mean we have to go direct to TM? Do you know who designed this plane...I'm thinking it was not Tom Morris? ??? Steve

Actually the quote that Ty was referring too, came from Don Blakslee the Units Captain, (that Don Gentile belonged too) he had put in bid to get the B Mustang's because the plane crews had been working on Spitfires and were familiar with the engines. When the unit was given the B model Mustangs, he told the Commander that his pilots would learn how to fly them on the way to the target.

I am building one of Pat Johnston's kits and it is a sweet kit. The wing is not sheeted though, will not look as scale, but it will be a nice plane also. Mine will be in the "Old Crow" paint scheme with the Malcom Hood canopy. LA .46 in mine. These are just the right size to fly good and have some fun with. Great job Ty.
