bfwaechter Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Does anyone know of a company or individual that produces a 1/32nd P-51 malcolm hood? The one in the Trumpeter 1/32nd P-51B kit is slab sided and not close to it's true shape. Thanks very much.

Steve Eagle Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Jerry Rutman had one in his resin -51B. Don't know if you might be able to locate one on ebay. But, that's the only I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Lone Star Models had a beautiful Malcolm Hood, with rails and chain track mechanism. Not sure if it’s still in his catalogue. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfwaechter Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Lone Star Models web site is still closed, so unable to see if Mike still sells this particular item. I have written him direct and am awaiting a reply. His stuff is first rate, so I am sure it would be something I would want to get a couple of if still available. Boyd Waechter Katy, TX.

MikeMaben Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hi Boyd , could you let us know what he says if you can get ahold of him. ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfwaechter Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I got an e-mail back from Mike West along with a photo of the malcolm hood he produces. The answer was pretty vague and with no price, but the photos shows he includes a resin plug that you can cut against when removing the excess clear plastic, along with a set of resin canopy rails to mount on the cockpit sill. I ask about ordering one in my original e-mail, but got no answer on that. I will assume it is still in his catalog and available, but cannot be ordered until he decides to reopen his web site in the future. Sorry, but that's all I know. He also sent me some info and drawings of his new 1/32nd OH-6 and AH-1G Cobra decal sheets. These are really nice and you get 6 to 8 choices of aircraft on each sheet. Appears to be really well done. He is also working on a new interior set for the OH-6. He already has an AH-1G cockpit set available, but again, you can't order it until he decides to reopen his web site.

Troy Molitor Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Anything for the 1:32 Loach would be awesome. Fingers crossed on that set. D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 As I have told Boyd, I made contact with Grey Matters they do not have the P-51B canopy that Jerry did. So if there is enough interest I will have a look and see what I can come up with, but it will not be an overnight fix, but let me know your thoughts and or any other areas that maybe useful to have addressed on this P-51B kit......as most or any other options look still to be a fair way down the line. cheers Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
