D.B. Andrus Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Ralph "Kidd" Hofer's P-51B. (This build is a data gathering exercise for future rebuild of 1/32 21st C. P-51B. If the HK kit comes out before then information will be applied to it.) Yahu I.P. Airscale Placards Aires PE seat belts. Aires Cockpit(modified): The a/c didn't have the fuselage fuel tank and therefore had a different radio installation than those so equipped. Added s/b SCR-695 IFF and sliding shelf; battery box. Moved SCR-522 and accumulator. Scratched pilots armor as a/c didn't have first-aid pack behind pilot's head. Added SS seat rails. First Cockpit shot: More photos to follow. All comments welcome. Cheers, D.B. PS: Don't have a digital SLR w/ micro lens so detail shots are the best I can get out of my point and shoot. Maybe one day......

LSP_Kevin Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Where did you get the data placards? Oops, never mind! I just re-read the first post - airscale, of course! Looks great, and I still reckon you're pulling our legs about it being 1/48 scale. Kev D.B. Andrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
