SB20 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 This is my Tamiya P-51 converted into the Reno racer "Bardahl Special". I scratch built the rear cockpit removing all surplus equipment including the fuel tank. I also removed all armament, and used a propeller from a Bearcat to create a P-51H propeller as used on this airframe. AMS resin drop tanks are used for the 150 gallon tanks that Bardahl carried during the race to Reno. Decals are from Draw Decals. I have another set of racer decals reroute since I enjoyed this build so much. Kais, Alain Gadbois, Gazzas and 19 others 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
