  1. Thanks but wrong version. No 20 mm's.
  2. Agreed Rob! LOL 😀
  3. Thanks Rob. That's probably correct about the wings but seeing photos of the actual a/c (and others) it's evident that was bypassed since the bird was derelict, etc.
  4. Thanks Ernie! I'm glad you like it! Something a little different this time. I've considered doing another one in GSB that was at the same location but we will see.
  5. Anything to make it work! I cussed that thing up one side and down the other! LOL
  6. I'd take a SH T-33 over a Fly Hurricane any day Carl. LOL Getting the cockpit to fit was the problem. I finally wound up removing some of the framework to MAKE it fit. 🤪
  7. When I built mine a few years ago I got so mad at it, before I attached the wings, I threw it on the floor! The thick carpet kept it from getting too much damage and I was able to resume the build a little later after I had cooled down. LOL I swore then I'd never buy another Fly kit and I haven't! 😬
  8. LOL 😄
  9. I hope it will be of some help in your build!
  10. Looking good Peter!
  11. Really did turn out nice Peter in spite of "setbacks". Overcoming problems and finishing a build gives you a nice feeling (at least it does me!). LOL Well done!!!
  12. As T'ealC used to say "INDEED"! Hardly a comparison with todays kits.
  13. Should be a enjoyable build Peter. I've used Vector cockpit sets in 3 other Hobbycraft P-51 builds and it really enhances the models "look". Stay tuned!
  14. Sure is pretty Peter!!! Outstanding work especially with all the problems. Turned out really well.
  15. My plan is to "convert" this USAAF P-51 to a RAF Mustang I. It won't involve a LOT of adjustments but one is replacing the poor kit exhausts with some from my spares stash. Other improvements will be to replace the wing cannons with some very nice Master Model items (coming from SB) and replacing the wheels with some Tamiya P-51 items. The main thing though will be the Vector cockpit interior set. Should make a nice looking model!
  16. Thanks Dennis! Agreed!
  17. Thank you Rockie! I'm pleased with the way it turned out and I'm glad you like it! Thanks again!
  18. Thanks Frank! They just don't have the right know how or incentives to build it. It DOES need some extra effort if you are willing to do it. LOL I'm glad you like it.
  19. Thank you Kevin. I appreciate that.
  20. Many thanks Steve.
  21. Thank you Peter!
  22. Thank you Peter!!! I'm very pleased that you like it. Thanks again!
  23. LOL Thanks again Jeff! I'm happy you feel that way! It should look good next to my other Corsairs.
