another superb update Peter, now that you are plumbing this can be useful cheers

also the asymmetrical color version

P51 D though

lovely detail work as you do Peter, you are going to be entertained on that wheel bay, so many parts, it will look amazing for sure! I have seen different color configurations on unrestored Mustang's wheel bays, most of them have the top cover in bare aluminum showing the Alclad lettering like the pic you posted, are you replicating that also? cheers

Superb update Peter, this footage shots are good material for the dog's house even though they show D models cheers

also this one ww2 era picture cheers

Hi Peter, this pic comes from the manual I think, not sure if it is a B/D model I personally would think it was left bare metal cheers

Hi Ryan, I have the same feeling about my tamiya Mustang, also started mine in 2014.... hope we get enough strenght to finish up the build this year, YES WE CAN!!! cheers Antonio https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/2758-tamiya-p-51-mustang-betty-lou/?tab=comments#comment-37533

Hi Chris, that canvas could be open to acces to the control column and linkage mechanism wich sits on the wing part under the cockpit, as well as ventilation system. I recomend watching my friend's build in wich many aspects like this were ilustrated, very Mustangly educational speaking lol : cheers https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235029538-missouri-armada-p-51d-mustang-documents-and-partial-scratch-from-the-tamiya-148-kit/&page=3

also this pics are quite useful and interesting

Hi Miloslav, very nice cockpit and proyect, will follow it closely mate! can I point out that the radio rack was painted black and not green as tamiya intructions say, they came out black from the North American Aviation factory as this shot from the video 1944 line factory shows, hope it helps if you are looking for historical accurate rendition. cheers

congratulations miroslav on this georgeous rendition, beautiful work mate! cheers

those are position lights, non standard, visble in this picture cheers

The angled in toward the cockpit black stripes on top of the wings were supposed to be used as an aid for dive-bombing. Your height and distance aside of the target before you dived dictated which line to use

the pictures work on his thread at Britmodeller forum
