				Tamiya's 1/48 scale P-51B Mustang is available online from Squadron 
		 
  
      
		  
		This is Tamiya's 1/48 P-51B Mustang finished in the 
		markings of 3 Squadron RAAF, based at Fano in Italy during the winter of 
		1944/45. 
		
			I was inspired in a model I saw in an article about Aussie Mustang 
			Mk.III. That model was made by Chris Wauchop and I followed every 
			indication he wrote in the article. I used Mr. Color Paints and 
			Aeromaster decals. 
			  
			
			  
			  
			The kit seat was changed by an Cutting Edge one, and the wheels 
			came from True Details.  I installed an Eduard Zoom set too. 
			The control column is from a Cutting Edge set for the Sea Fury, 
			but I think it works well here.
