Extended fuselage and Wing center sections. IIRC, there were some very significant shape differences between the bubble top P-51D fuselage and the P-82 fuselages. I believe the rear sections are significantly larger on the P-82 as well as differences in the rudder, vertical stab and air intake scoop.

That's what makes it fun. Dan Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought that I might try to modify 2 existing P-51 kits. Hopefully more detail in the IM versions. I thought that I could print the extended fuselage and join the front of the Revell kit to the new printed parts. Dan Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandiego Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Been working on the gear and their bays. Nose gear. Still some details and weathering to add. Main gear and bays. Gear still needs to be sprayed white, plumbing still to be added. Doors, landing lights are missing. Weapons bay. Highlighting is done, still some dark washes to be added.

Dandiego Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Been working on small details in the last few days........... Inside of the canopy. Front landing gear door. One side of the weapons bay doors. Kind of tricky as the gap between the doors increases as you go forward. Area behind the seat.

Dandiego Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Slow progress on small details. First are the speedbrakes. I have covered the 3d printed part with a sheet of thin plastic, the overall look has improved. I have also added a strip of plastic around the edge. This greatly improves the rather lumpy edge of the 3d part. Next is the rear trapeze for the Falcon missiles. This has taken a fair amount of head scratching to get to this point. The arms of the trapeze have been 3d printed. They are then place into a 3d printed alignment jig. I have also added a cable to the assembly. With Falcon. In Situ.
