Some lovely work going into this Roger.


I do like all the work you have put into the cockpit.

Thanks guys there is so much more detail than 48 scale and I'm a bit of a critique of my own stuff coupled with it being probably my favorite aircraft I have to give it my all

Need a break from the cockpit just for a while so had a go at the wing gun Bays I added some more photo etch to represent the lower wing skin and the front main spar and rear spar also rear gun brackets I'll probably spray silver then tamiya yellow green then scratch up a bit not sure yet

Roger, this Barracuda resin upgrade may help with your wiring question? http://barracudacals.com/images/instructions/BR32014%20P-51DCockpitUpgrade.pdf

Just painted guns satin black then drybrushed with gunmetal airbrushed the bays and gave them a wash of burnt umber next up the troughs for the ammo belts I have a choice here of kit plastic or photo etch not sure which to use yet it's down to which machine gun rounds look best once painted

Nice work in the gun bays Roger.

The detail is amazing

The detail is amazing

This kit has so much more detail than the 48 scale tamiya kit but it's not without some issues mainly the radio is the wrong way around if you follow the instructions and the battery is too far to the left looking from the rear only about 4 mm but that's throwing other things out


The fit of all the parts is terrific it could not be better I have decided to use the kit ammo belts as they are better than the photo etch stuff


Going to go back to finishing the cockpit next as I want to get the fuselage glued up together and there is still a lot to do first


Thanks guys for following the build I do find it a great help and encouragement


Still not quite sure which one I will do but it will be an early one as the instrument panel and lack of fin fillet dictate this version
