TAMIYA F-51D

I'll have to check this evening but I'm fairly sure that the wings have the HVAR mounting points located but flashed over.

MUST have another kit to add to my stash!!

 

Thanks,

The Grey Matter un-cuffed prop is a Aeroproducts prop not a Hamilton Standard (HS), the blades are a different shape. I believe the second release of the Tamiya kit in AP markings has both HS Props?

Thanks for all the feedback.

I was able to pick up the mounts for the HVAR and I could use the prop from the old Monogram 1/32nd Mustang - I believe that would work.

Still trying to confirm what the cockpit interior would look like and what "updates" would need to be done to make a post war/Korean War vintage plane.

If you've got any suggestions, I'd sure appreciate it!

 

Of course, 15 minutes before I finish this "conversion", Tamiya will release the kit with the very markings I've got in mind and that I will have to piece together.

What a fantastic hobby!!!

 

Thanks again,
