I am right now in the process of scribing the kit lower belly panel using correct drawings. Will be including it with my "late" tail set. Should have it molded tomorrow.

Cheetah11 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Good on you Radu for making that upper cowling piece separate for the early and late D's!! Most manufacturers would ignore the panel line differences. Upper cowling??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Good on you Radu for making that upper cowling piece separate for the early and late D's!! Most manufacturers would ignore the panel line differences. The part in question on the new sprue is the underside of the nose. The upper cowling is part of the fuselage sprue and is probably going to be the same in both kits. In the current D-5 release, you have to fill a panel in front of the windscreen, which I assume you won't have to fill on the late release.

Out2gtcha Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just finished up custom paint masks for the early -5 "Horses Itch" last night including all the fuselage codes, tail codes. I even managed to reproduce paint masks for the 357th Fighter Group checker nose, as I found out after receiving the kit that there are no decals for the spinner (as there probably wouldn't be now that I think about) it, and I have always had issues matching paint to decals, especially when those same decals and paint are right abutting up to each other. I found out very quickly there was/is a BIG controversy whether Horses Itch had the older 357th Fighter Group full white nose (as it appears in some pics) or if it had the 357th Fighter Group checker nose. I quickly found an old B&W pic of Horses Itch that didnt quite have as much picture washout, indicating that yes in fact it did have the checker nose and the white was just a product of the WWII style fim washout effect making it look white. Cant wait to start! Im going for as much of an OOB build as I can, save belts, wheels/tires and the paint masks. Probably will do the same with the late version whenever it hits the market.

D Bellis Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 News Flash ! Photo posted on another forum by well know Mustang enthusiast Craig Quattelbaum of a Revell sprue shot ... To be clear, that sprue and the kit that goes with it is not available yet, nor is on Revell's release schedule for 2018. It has been reported before that the sprue with the late parts was tooled from the start with the rest of the kit, just not in the initial release. Don't get me wrong: I hope Revell corrects their initial goof sooner rather than later, but I'll believe it when I see it actually in stock somewhere.

John1 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Looks like Revell included holes for the tail warning radar as well. Very nice. Just going to be a slight pain to fill / sand if the Mustang being modeled didn't have that equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Oh yeah, I didnt anticipate sprue shots this early to equate to a kit release any time soon. Glad they had it from the start though! Its the best of all indications that they are in fact moving forward with a late Mustang too. But then again, why wouldn't they?!? It looks like they have a hit on their hands with this one, especially at the price point its at. David66 and D Bellis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alburymodeler Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It has been stated as 100% verified fact that Revell is NOT doing a P-51B/C. Not happy about that at all (not that I totally accept your statement in these days of "Fake News") but I just hope HKM get a move on, and keep it simple and affordable.
