This build has been primarily a teaching enterprise and technique practice. I would love to build another one, even with all the similar scale, smaller scale and larger scale high quality ARF model P-51s out there. There have been newer ones introduced since I started on this one.

The color scheme I chose was influenced by my wife, Geraldine, so that is the color scheme I finally chose for this build.

Flown by Retired Lieutenant Colonel Charles Roscoe "Chuck" Cummins who flew Mustangs with the 361st Fighter Group, 375th fighter Squadron - Yellowjackets and named his Mustang "Geraldine" after his wife.
My model will be a replica of the one owned by Chuck Greenhill, Owner and operator of this beautiful North American P-51D Mustang "Geraldine" (S/N 44-74543), which is available for airshows, flybys and film.
