This
is my Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang, build as an Swedish Airforce example. In
Swedish AF service, the Mustang was called ”J26” and was used between the
years 1945-1955 in the fighter and recce role.
On
my model, the elevator was cut out and replaced with an Cutting Edge item. The
prop, spinner and landing gear doors are from Ultracast. Custom made decals for
the model were made by Mr
Anders Nowotny
of Red Bolt decals. Eduard etch was also used.
The
model was painted with Tamiya acrylics and 3 shades of Alclad II. An
overall panel line wash and some drybrushing completed the job.

The
Swedish Mustangs were surplus USAAF examples. The white spinner denotes that the
aircraft was used by the wing staff officers. This specific full scale
Mustang with Swedish registration 26046 was later sold to Israeli AF.
