JohnB Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Just for grins I decided to post some shots of both my P-51B conversions. The base kit was the Trumpeter kit. The nose on the USAAF a/c is from a Revell "D". The nose on the RAF a/c is from a old Monogram kit. I hope you enjoy perusing 'em. Please remember to click on the 1st photo for best resolution and to view the photos as a slide show. (Yes, it makes a big difference!) 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Wow, the conversion work is perfect!!! Hard to do once, and you did it twice. Fantastic! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Thanks! Takes a good bit of trimming, puttying, and sanding but a very possible "conversion". If I had another doner "D", preferrably Revell, I'd likely do another one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
