Later production Js had dive brakes P-38J-25 and subs if memory serves), fuel pump covers not on the J (two bumps underneath each wing inboard and outboard of the nacelles); landing light under wing on the J ( not sure whether that applies to all J’s or just the earlier ones vs leading edge on the L. Early J’s had rounded windscreen and separate bulletproof glass where later J’s and L’s incorporated it into the windscreen. Those are the only ones I’m familiar with but there may be others depending on the production block J you’re looking to model.

And in that thread about scaling up some of their planes to 1/32 he said the 1/48 A6M3 was not a good seller for them and the Model 22 in particular so don’t look for any upscaled zeros from Eduard in the future. He say that between the zero and the P-51B/C, he’d choose the latter but then added what Ben wrote above about the Spitfire. Kind of disappointing if you ask me. We’ll see what they intend to do. Another Mk IX? I’ll pass. That was my question to Eduard in case anyone was wondering.

Yes, the shimmy damper is only on the E model. They have a strut set specifically for the C version (circular lower nose strut cross-section) so be sure to order that set if you’re building a C.

Hasegawa Ki-61-1 Lightning Deal at Sprue Brothers

Thank God; I don’t need another one. It was almost too good to pass on. -
Not in 1/32,nope. There isn’t even a 1/32 resin kit of the A6M3 Model 32.

Well, this is kind of a tricky question as the total weight of the model is not what's applied to each strut. It's almost like weighing a real aircraft; only a portion of the total weight is carried by each strut. For "accuracy's sake" It's not quite as simple as the total weight divided by three but a good majority of the weight is carried by the main landing gear and the rest carried by the nose gear. For lack of a set of "scale model" load cells, I should think that total weight divided by three would give you a nice safety margin. Now back to your original question.... My built Tamiya 1/32 F-15E weighs in at 0.625 kg (625 grams or 1.375 lbs) so those struts should handle the weight without any issue.
-
I had originally thought they'd screwed up the struts, the E vs. C but after looking at the site a little closer, it appears they got it correct...

Don't know HOW I missed this post. 2112.... Yep, need to be flying into Toronto instead of Laguardia. Huge RUSH fan since the Permanent Waves tour (May 1980, Utica, NY). -

According to O’Leary, it started with the first Mustangs built for the British.

Juggernut reacted to a post in a topic: P-51A Wing Question
-
All Mustang wings were treated the same as far as I'm aware and done at the North American factories (Long Beach and Dallas). Seams were puttied and sanded to 40% chord (from the leading edge), no further back (top and bottom). Two coats of primer on top of that and finish coats on top of that. NOTE: Not all panel lines on the wing were puttied and sanded; the landing gear access panel was left alone as was the flux gate panel (remote compass panel out toward the outboard end of the left wing uppersurface).

Well, as one who has a few of their 1/48 A6M kits, if they'd up some of those (A6M3 Model 22, 22a, and 32), I'd be standing in line waiting. The 1/48 Hellcat would be another choice as well....There's oodles of subjects they can tool up based on their 1/48 releases.
