The Great LSM Twins Group Build ends July 3, 2024 ×

HobbyCraft P-51A


Recommended Posts

As this will be my 2nd of their P-51A's and a A-36 I'm a bit ahead of the game in knowing what to expect and modify. As I will be using the outstanding Vector cockpit set on this build, as I did on the 1st "A" and the "36", the first thing to do is get rid of all the raised locator ridges, etc on the inside of the fuselage. That done I can now finish cleaning up the resin Vector parts and prepare for painting the inside, etc.

No argument from me, John. The Vector cockpit is a real gem and worth every cent. The kit is a real sweetheart as well. I’m sure glad I bough several for cheap when they were getting no love whatsoever from the modeling community.

Nice work John.

Do you know whether I could use that 'pit for a B/C?
At last I'd have to put a floor in, wouldn't I?

Thanks. I'm not sure if it would be right for a B/C. I'd recommend checking photos. The Detail & Scale book on the early Mustangs would be a good place to begin. I'll take a look and see what's what.

I think this set would be okay for a B/C with a few small adjustments. The floor should be fine also. Find yourself some good photos and or diagrams and you should be good to go.
