1to1scale Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 By sheer accident I found a guy on facebook that had just made a fillet tail section for the the Revell Germany P-51D-5NA. I have three coming my way right now, I should have them early next week. I will post a quick review and fitting to the Revell kit I have as soon as I get them. This should give us all a pretty cheap way to make Revell P-51's. I don't believe he is a member here, pending the results of the finished product and how it looks, I will talk to him some more and see how he wants to sell these to anyone who is interested.

Out2gtcha Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Cool! Please do let us know how they look. Id bet dollars to doughnuts the way Revell has broken the fuselage up that they will produce a fillet version at some point phantom, Rick Griewski, MikeC and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigant Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Looks like good mold-work, with locater tabs and all! Thinking of becoming our "Official/local LSP Distributor" for these? Edited February 10, 2018 by Gigant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smitty44 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just read earlier that they plan on doing later versions down the road, oh well. We are an impatient bunch aren't we. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) I know not everyone likes the fillet, but most of the schemes for -5 are fairly ugly, by adding the fillet, you have many more decal and NM color options available. And with the projected final price less than $20 each, it's pretty cheap way to make some later P-51's out of an already cheap kit. I now have to educate myself on other differences on various P-51D models. Lol, I had not planned on being a distributor for them...but I may help him figure out a way to sell them if he needs it. Be patient, I will get the three and post lots of pictures, I figure three of them will give me a chance to compare them for pinholes, voids, warpage, surface quality, etc. We will go from there.

I would consider it if I were you-It's honest money and we would trust your judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm assuming that it comes with the metal elevators? Need those too. Based on the sprue layout in the Revell kit, their late version will also come with a different IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes that easy! I guess he decided on selling them cheap. At that price, it's a steal anyway. Edited February 10, 2018 by 1to1scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for that, I am willing to consider paying a little more. Sorry if that "ruffles your feathers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bellis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Sorry if that "ruffles your feathers". Huh? I posted a link to the set being sold. Honestly, I don't care if that "ruffles your feathers". Cheers, D CATCplSlade and Troy Molitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy915 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Saw this on FB also. Been thinking about getting it. Looks like a pretty decent piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Is it me? In the top picture the resin fuselage looks to be smaller than the Revell at the joint Richard Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Is it me? In the top picture the resin fuselage looks to be smaller than the Revell at the joint Richard Possibly yes. But for the money he wants, and the money the Revell kit costs, Im thinking a couple swipes with the sanding stick on the rear of the Revell fuse might do the trick. Im also not sure about the panel lines on his tail section either, but again, I can overlook it for the cost. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just read earlier that they plan on doing later versions down the road, oh well. We are an impatient bunch aren't we. Indeed. I have three sheets of decals for this version. All nice schemes. So I will be waiting for Revell. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
