Time to shoot down some Nazis!

Very nice Mini-fig scale P-51. Of course, it was the British Merlin engine that made the P-51 such a great fighter!

Hey Scott:), This is a great model. One can see you had a lot of fun building it. The color scheme with the black and white parts is a definite eye-catcher and makes up for a little less accuracy as you pointed out yourself. The solution for the cockpit works well - better than I thought it could with those piesces. As you might know, I care a lot about realism and functionality - a certain compromise between the two actually is my favorite. Cause being able to really play with a model matters to me. Speaking of which: your landing gear is great. Though I want to ask: does the wheel in the back turn? Some working control surfaces on the wings and tail would be great - maybe for your next model?! Achieving great accuracy for models of real aircraft is hard. Usually, compromises on functionality and/or playability have to be made, as well as compromises on the design if one doesnīt own the right pieces. That is why I never wanted to build a real model, but make up my own ficticious designs rather: because I can alter the outcome by using different pieces, changing the shape, etc., without having to stick to the shape of a particular real model. In addition to that, your own creativity and imagination can be unfolded even more... But oh well, thatīs just me blabbering... :) Anyways, a great model! Keep it up, Steffen

I like all your aircrafts :-) good work.

Nice! Yeah, the gear is a little off as far as the height and wheels go. The rest is good!

The proportions are a little bit strange. What scale do you build? It is definetly no minifig scale. According to the length of your plane it is around 1:30 but for the width it is 1:35. The hight is difficult to determine by looking at the pics but it could fit in minifig scale (1:48). The wings are a little bit to thick and some photos are blurred. So thats for the critics :-) Overall it is a really well looking plane and I think it is worth 4/5. I know how difficult it is to build nearly exact models. I hope I did not offend you ;-)

Wow! Just checked out your page mate, and you are one heck of a plane builder. This one is just beautiful...

i've seen many of these p-51d mustangs in documentaries and you've captured the shape perfectly, the canopy is really imaginative and clever, the engine is nice, color scheme wonderful and i would sure buy this if it was on sale!

perfect. but the engine looks a little radial.other than that, wonderful

It's a great model you have there ou should put it on the internet for lego factory it whould be a big hit! I whould buy it. I've seen big buitiful doll in flight it was neat.

:)

Nice mustang, the paintjobs are awesome too. the landing gear need to be a little larger though... Great job nonetheless

Quaint little model, and the piant job is nice to, BBD is one of my favorite mustangs, I see it most years at the EAA.

wow I read the comment below and it actuall is the "Big Beautiful Doll"! I read a little about that airplane. But the moc, it's simple, yet complicated but the design is fantastic. It's hard to make a good lego airplane, usally I succeed in making a good (not st00pied looking) airplane about 1/4 of the time!

"Big Beautiful Doll"! I based my republic gunship on this plane. Building WWII planes is always hard, but you captured the shape very well. Nicely done.

Great color work on this plane. The black and white looks awesome and the plane is just beautiful. -Sam

Beautiful work mate, great shape and execution...

Nice job! Looks pretty good!

not very accurate as a model but fun and creative; a P-51D Crimson Skies like. I like the way you build the landing gear and the canopy.

Well excuted, I find myself looking for that one piece, time from time. Nice collection of fighters. 5 for 5

Nice! Love the color work on this especially, but good job on the form and proportions as well.
