Started also on the wheel well/wing sub-assembly. Decided to paint the rear spar, and stringers Yellow Zinc Chromate, and the well roof aluminum. Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr

Building the ducting system, again, truly nice fit so far! Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr

The right side of the wall, with extra placards from barracudacals. really nice! Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr

Dry fitting the cockpit to the canopy; so far, so good! Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr

So after lurking for so long, and with certain responsibilities being met, I decided to start a build. It's been a long time since I last built a kit (4 years ago?!?!). I got the new revell kit, and started cracking on it. I'm not sure for markings yet, but I'm leaning on Lt Donald Emerson's P-51D. So anyways, here's photos of the build.

Ok, thanks for the head's up. :-) I'm trying to create a 3d print for a kit I wish to convert. ;-)

what I mean is a D to a B. Sorry. Taking note of the words of advice and caution, I just need to satisfy my curiosity of how much differences there is between the two mustangs. So I took images of the P-51 kits, looking at differences. So the fuselage of the old revel P-51B lines up well enough with the new revel P-51D, until you reach the tail. Obviously, the razorback has a taller area even up to the tail. <a data-flickr-embed="true" data-context="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/147199322@N07/42613508192/in/photostream/"title="Untitled"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1750/42613508192_4eea33f05b_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Untitled"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Remarkably enough, the tail wheel opening is more or less exactly the same as the one on the new kit. <a data-flickr-embed="true" data-context="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/147199322@N07/42613508432/in/photostream/"title="Untitled"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1744/42613508432_a8f3ee8286_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Untitled"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> The same with the rutman kit. <a data-flickr-embed="true" data-context="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/147199322@N07/28789766058/in/dateposted/"title="Untitled"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1732/28789766058_19bd6bcfba_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Untitled"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I actually have a Revell and Rutman B kit. I’m seriously considering doing it. I’m currently comparing fuselages

How hard could it be from B to D
