Guest Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Couple of shots here of the test fitting. Just taped together so it's not nice and snug but you can get the idea as to fit. I'm certain, as the build progresses, there will be some issues hopefully small. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 That fuselage to wing fit looks pretty good! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 That fuselage to wing fit looks pretty good! Chris Not too bad at all Chris. We'll see how the fuselage lays down on the wings after I get the cockpit done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Great start John. More importantly, it's great to see you chart your own course on this endevour going forward! I enjoy all your build treads. Troy Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorbenD Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hi John - looking very interesting - I love a good mash up! Apologies, to my shame I'm not as knowledgable on the ‘Stang as I would like to be, what's your plan here? Are you creating a specific variant/aircraft?

Guest Maxim Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 That is looking good so far. Will be great to see how this pans out John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hi John Always a pleasure to see your latest project and looking forward to how you tackle this adventure. Wings seem to mate rather well and under your eye, the results should be Spot on the Money. So far, I've built four Tamiya P-51D's (one being a complete tear down and re-build) and knowing there are more in the coming future, I'm always eager to see new ways of tackling the kit. Keep 'em comin Peter :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro32 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Wow.... there are complete kits out there with worse fit than that! Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Hi John - looking very interesting - I love a good mash up! Apologies, to my shame I'm not as knowledgable on the ‘Stang as I would like to be, what's your plan here? Are you creating a specific variant/aircraft? Torben I just wanted to give this a try and see if we could replace the rivet showing Tamiya wings with the smooth Revel wings. It will be a regular P-51D-20 bird in the Pacific. Thanks go to Rick Griewski for the wings! Edited May 28, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em comin Peter :popcorn: Thanks Peter. I felt it would be a nice "project" to try and, hopefully, we will have a alternative to puttying the Tamiya wings. I tried that and it just did not work out well. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
