Kylenlord Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Great choice Peter! A personal favorite of mine, the C variant with the dorsal fin. Kind of an oddball between the B and D. I'm building a Jerry Bates P-51B as the C, the one ill be doing has a completely yellow tail. If I recall correctly I saw you post over at Rcscalebuilder, all I could think was I can only imagine what you would do with a larger build. Looking forward to this one! Kyle airscale 1
Trak-Tor Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Glad to have you back, Peter! Looks like another amazing project.And the resources you have for it... hmm... Juraj airscale 1

dodgem37 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Came by for a second look. No canopy? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark airscale 1
BlackCanopy Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 BTW, one suggestion if I may. I note that there are a few 1/18 scale Merlin Engine kits out there and if you could use your skill to pack one of these babies into this project, you might actually match or exceed the Spitfire. Ok, maybe not match it, but darn close! Second that! Love your chosen subject, Peter! airscale 1
Fencer-1 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Hello Peter, There is a lot of work to be done! The blueprints have many distortions need to be taken in account. They need to be verified by dimentions written on them - not an easy task! I hope this picture will help you. I drew it using true dimentions from NAA drawings originally to convert 1/32 P-51D into B model, but the work isn't done yet. This drawing scaled to 1/18 so you need just download full-size image.

Jim Barry Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Great Subject. Worthy of another master effort . I'm sure you've seen Young C. Park's and David Glen's Mustangs. airscale 1
Guest Peterpools Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Peter Awesome project and I'm ready for the journey. :popcorn: Peter
Radders Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Where do you get the base model? Massive clue in the first post...! " I asked Mirek at HpH to run me off one of their bespoke 1/18 subjects " airscale, Troy Molitor and Alburymodeler 3
