Help with Pacific Theatre P-51 Mustang

[quang]

Hi guys and gals,

 

I'm contemplating building another P-51D this time from the Pacific or China theater.

 

I know there were some differences in equipment – notably radio and navigation – between the machines used in Europe and those used on the Pacific front.

I can also use some input about the F-6D/K recce variant.

 

Will you Mustang fans and experts care to give me some pointers?

 

Thanks a bunch,

Quang

Thank you Marus. It' s a good start but I'd rather concentrate on the D version.

I'm still working on the Checkertail Mustang but am thinking of the next project. ;-)

Pick up the Tamiya 1/32 scale Pacific Theater version Mustang it has everything you need even for the Recon version!!!

Excellent idea but this next time I'll try to do it in 1:48.

 

I know it's a blasphemy to some of you but it'll be a new challenge to me cramming 1/32 details in a smaller package.

As in 48th Hesagwa did a Pacific bird but it's not Recon if I recall

Think I ought to review all the existing kits before asking dumb questions. Thanks Vandy!

They're not dumb questions some people have a life and there's people like me that can just remember all the kits that came out.

You can the instructions for the Tamiya 1/32 D/K kit here.

The F-6A is option C in the instructions. Tamiya's instructions are also good about labeling what things are.

I have the Tamiya P-51D/K and others are correct, everything included to do the F6 version. I plan a Korean war recon P-51 for mine.
