racedees Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 After some research I found out that the depicted H 322 never flew with this type of the P-51D. They only flew with an early version. In the box is a late version. So I will build one of the other versions that are included. I also found out that there is a BigEd set for this beauty. So if my wallet (and the Mrs.) alow it, I will purchase it and use it on this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basosz Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Are you going to fix the panel lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racedees Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Are you going to fix the panel lines? What is wrong with the panellines? I like them as they are, but when it is a big error I will consider a corraction. But I made some pictures of what is inside the box: The plastic parts: The Manual: The decals and PE: Some features on the side of the box: And the schemes included on the decalsheets: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basosz Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 What is wrong with the panellines? I like them as they are, but when it is a big error I will consider a corraction. They are considered to be rather deep. I'm probably gonna keep them as they are, but some sites advice to putty them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 There seems to be a lot of potential in that big box. I think I'll be watching this build. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Next thing I want to do is scratch some more details on the engine. It looks ready for some pipes and wires. I'm surprised there weren't more bits in the box for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Mcellaney Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Did some work on the beauty again, here are the pictures. Dryfit: Nice work on the engine Just a bit of advice, I don't know if its to late but the engine in the Mustang was a Packard Merlin not a Rolls Royce Merlin so it would not have had the RR name on it Hope you can, if possible take the PE name of, and maybe touch in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racedees Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 That's becouse I'm trying to make a renovated (if that is the correct word) version and not a historical correct one. On the photo's I have the Rolls Royce plate is often seen on Mustangs. That's why I placed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea no one else is doing a restored Modern Warbird this will look cool clean and shiny Where have you been able to source the small RR decals on the side cowling or are you having them made, also don,t forget to change out the props to cuff-less type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
