Should extend further outboard like those on the D-Model. Justin Yep, they look short, but nothing that cannot be fixed in 4,56 minutes exactly.

Bedders Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Ha! It's been pointed out to me that I'm talking rubbish (again). Modelsvit have got the wing panels right. Which means that my 1/72 RS rendering is incorrect. All the more reason to do another one...! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnttiV Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The panel lines look to be right in Modelsvit's P-51H! I looked quickly one walk-around of P-51H-5-NA, (44-64331) and the photos show clearly the ammo bay panels are "short" exactly like in the model. Unfortunately I do not have the website address of the walk-around anymore. I have downloaded the walkaround photos for myself few years ago. - Anyway, in many books the drawings indeed show the "long" panels like the P-51D has. That seems to be a wrong conclusion.

No, unfortunately, the walk-around I have is taken outside in bright sunlight. 🙂 The one you sent, is very interesting too. I have to try to find tthat walk-around by myself. I think I have downloaded it from some page where the whole walk-around was as a.zip file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would more trust the plans and drawings that suggest otherwise, until I do see a clear picture of the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Folks , I'm to blame for the confusion. Should have studied photos more closely. I assumed that my 1/72 kit was correct when in fact it was wrong. Modelsvit seem to have done an excellent job. In the walkround link posted in #30 above, photo dscc0967.jpg shows the ammo compartment clearly. It's shorter in span than a D model, and shorter ecven than on a B model. It looks about the same size as on the Mustang I. So I for one have learnt something. Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clear up any confusion, a GB is a Group Build where we all get together on Britmodeller and build and display subjects according to the GB theme. An STGB is a Single Type GB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColFord Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Ordered!! And compared to the "big E" their exchange rate is reasonable and their postage rates are more than reasonable, no "Down Under Tax" on this transaction. This one I will be doing as one of the included options, the RAF aircraft. Now if they did a P-51F and P-51G, and given the quality of what they are doing, can someone tell them if they did really accurate 1/48th models of the Mustang Mk.I, Mustang Mk.IA and Mustang Mk.II, they could get a LOT of sales. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
