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. (:|~
I'll take much time i can to make it scale and accurate. ;)
Here are some pics of my work.
Plz avoid behind scenes. :hatsoff:

No worries, at least you didn't leave it for 14 years like Rip Van Winkle :D

enjoy,,
Can anyone name the movies on the background?
@antriksh,
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"
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.👍
What material did you use for covering?
Should've used monokote.
Great build, btw.
What camera did you use in the flight video?
Regards.
Btw, a great build. I plan on a mustang after I have enough experience.
I used gift covering.
But now I bought aluminum foil adhesive tape for more scale look.
@Prabal - I used HD wing camera
@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.
:salute: You noticed Iyer sir.
Thank you.
Great work champ! Flies very well. Speedy, true to its name!
I brought flying this beauty to one step further.
Added cockpit FPV >:D
Also aluminium foil tape arrived.(20meter by 5cm only for Rs.80/-)
