Tolga ULGUR Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 1 hour ago, Steve Eagle said: Personally, after trying to use a Trumpeter kit in the past, I gave up on it. I did a conversion using the Revell D/some parts from other places, and got reasonable results. Tolga, you are doing a nice bit of work with this. Looking forward to seeing your final results. Thanks Steve 15 minutes ago, PEYSSON Gilles said: Hello Tolga This P51B by of "Don" Gentile was my third 1/32 model in 1977 from Revell......... mine is not perfect ! Have a good assembly Now, always in my showcase ! Gilles Wow In 1977 I could only build 1/72 Matchbox kits Gilles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Argudo Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Another issue with the Trumpeter kit are the ammo panels depicted as the "D" model, in the B/C model were smaller since it had 2 machiguns per wing, the wing light panel gives you the reference to allinge with the end of the ammo panel, hope it helps, cheers Edited February 22 by Antonio Argudo Greg W, rafju, coogrfan and 8 others 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1977, I discovered 1/32 with Revell and Matchbox and started this magnificent scale which I haven't abandoned since !

Shame on the kit manufacturers for not giving us a nice P-51B for all these years. Antonio Argudo, chaos07, Mark P and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, that very famous aircraft, which was once under development by my wife's initiative, will be coming in a new, completely redesigned form. I can only show you a silhouette of it now, as it is still a long way off. It will fill a big missing piece in the collection of aircraft model! Luftwaffe is under threatl!
