Yet ANOTHER Mustang. This time it’s a two-fer. F-82 Twin Mustang from the Korean War. Yes, I’m on a Korean War kick recently. Wait’ll ya see my next one! And yes, the pilot and r/o were in fact inspired by an album cover. Any Sabbath fans out there ?
From a few months ago- probably some of my finest work, if I do say so myself! F-51D Mustang from the Korean War.
The last thing the North Korea expected- or wanted to see - was a massive build up of UN air power to contest their invasion of South Korea. But, that’s what they got. Fuck around and find out. The IL-10, Yak-9 and La-7 fighters the North Koreans sent south across the 38th parallel in June of 1950 would soon be eaten alive by US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, as well as British air force and navy planes, Australian Air Force and navy planes, and South African Air Force planes. Even with the addition of MiG 15 jet fighters in late 1950, North Korea struggled in the air-to-air fight, as the majority of their planes were forced to operate out of China where UN forces could not touch them. As the war turned into a stalemate, North Korea sought to gain some kind of advantage in the air. They did so by arming training airplanes and sending them out at night to harass UN lines. Known as “Washing Machine Charlies” due to the noise that their engines made, Yakovlev 18’s would bomb on or near UN targets, making for sleepless nights. This little bird was fun to put together.
Ever wondered why the plastic brick of LEGO® doesn’t handle well with a jet engine behind it?✈️

All of the windows are on, all of the turrets are on, the nose cone is on, and the tail is on. All I need to do is fill some gaps with putty, do a bit of sanding and the fuselage will be DONE. Then I can move on to the wings. By the way, I STILL don’t have a new display case yet…maybe I better slow down. #boeing #b17 #flyingfortress #modelplanes

Success and progress. Not only was I able to fix the tail gun position, but the fuselage halves are now one piece. Despite all of the sanding that I did to make the halves fit together properly, there are still more gaps than a hillbilly’s smile where the two halves meet. Looks like I’ll be breaking out the filler putty next. But at least I have a whole fuselage now! #boeing #b17 #flyingfortress #modelplanes
B0ss bought this Cool #vintagetoys Texaco #biplane, I use it to adjust my camera settings at work. Sadly, the plane appears to have #firedamage but as the boss put it, it gives it a nice old worn #patina look. #productphotography #diecast #modelplanes #retrotoy #firedamage
