no problem mate it's going to be a beauty Mustang, keep the good, cheers Also found this diagram comparison from the NAA manuals

yes, many drawings and kits represent this wrongly, this happens when copying from wrong reference, 1/48 accurate miniatures P51 kits represent correctly the size of the ammo panel, as you can see the length of the ammo panel allines with the panel of the wing light as reference point, cheers

Hi mate, I can guarantee you Tamiya's model is wrong, and also those drawings... I have the NAA blueprints for the "B" model, plus it is quite obvious in ww2 pictures that indeed the ammo panel is smaller, also this relic from a B model, here is the reference material, also keep in mind B/C models had only 2 machine guns on each wing that's why the ammo panel were smaller and increased in the D model to provide more rounds to 3 machine guns, cheers

great update dave, looking fantastic! one tip about the ammo panel on the B is that they were smaller than the D model, keep the good modeling, cheers Antonio

nice job so far, watching closely, cheers!

amazing work on those wing rivets John , something about that rectangle panel, not sure if it was a repair made in the restoration and hasegawa copied but have not seen it on ww2 Dora's pictures, if someone can confirm this? cheers

wow, very neat, looking impressive, keep that great work mate!!!!! cheers
