Title: p51D mustang build Post by: Antriksh on September 23, 2015, 04:01:57 AM It've been many days since i build a Scale model.
So decided to make most famous and attractive p51D Mustang.I'm a huge fan of this plane. First saw it in animation movies and than on Youtube. Finally it's coming to reality in front of me.

Plz avoid behind scenes. :hatsoff: Title: Re: p51D mustang build Post by: Antriksh on September 23, 2015, 04:15:14 AM started

Really well done {:)} To tell you the truth, i liked the initial build pics, but was a bit dissapointed with the fuselage top, the covering material, the canopy, the pic of the wingtip etc. I stopped my Mustang build as i was not satisfied with the finish. But now that you have made a successful Mustang, you can think of other details. Never saw a trike Mustang before though! Congrats again. Regards.

Sung by American rock band "Family of The Year" (Lyrics video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMVc0vG4K_k) used in Movie "BoyHood" Title: Re: p51D mustang build Post by: Antriksh on July 31, 2016, 08:45:32 AM Riteshbrd yes this is the song.
But I asked about movies on computer monitor. @ Iyer sir , this is my first build with coroplast sheet I worked with Balsa I'll try to keep it more scale next time . Thank you.👍 Title: Re: p51D mustang build Post by: rishabhbarma on July 31, 2016, 08:52:10 AM What material did you use for covering?
Should've used monokote. Great build, btw. Title: Re: p51D mustang build Post by: prabal276 on July 31, 2016, 02:02:04 PM What camera did you use in the flight video?
Regards. Btw, a great build. I plan on a mustang after I have enough experience. Title: Re: p51D mustang build Post by: Antriksh on July 31, 2016, 04:23:06 PM I used gift covering.
But now I bought aluminum foil adhesive tape for more scale look. @Prabal - I used HD wing camera Title: Re: p51D mustang build Post by: K K Iyer on July 31, 2016, 05:17:52 PM @antriksh,
Just saw the video again. It's great! Especially liked the cloud views from onboard cam, and ground cam view of inverted pass. Regards. Title: Re: p51D mustang build Post by: Antriksh on July 31, 2016, 10:02:44 PM :salute: You noticed Iyer sir.
