This will be a second "test" build of my new P-51B/C kit.
Gerardo (milenio3) is of course, building Jeesil Peesil Mommy as we speak.
But I think we have most of the major issues dealt with.
He should be posting up his report very soon (on my cutandfold Forum).
(I'll make sure to post a report here as well!)
I was getting itching to build something,
and with a number of requests to produce more RAF and RCAF planes,
I decided to go ahead and create a second "test" build kit.
This will be a Mustang III of the RAF 316 Squadron.
316 Squadron, based in England from '42 to '46, was a Polish Squadron.
They received Mustangs in 1944.
Kit is 9 pages, including:
Cover Page, 3 Instruction Pages, 1 Former Page and 4 Parts Pages.
As always, I start by printing the 4 Parts Pages on 65lb cardstock.
Former Page is printed on regular weight paper
and laminated to 2 layers of Cereal Box card using 3M Spray glue.
I have also created a Recessed Wheel Well option for this kit.
Still not sure if it will even work.
Biggest issue is the original design of the Wing to Fuselage assembly.
I can deal with most of the alterations to the Wing itself,
but the Fuselage will need some material cut out of the belly to clear the Landing gear boxes
and I'm not sure how that will affect the whole structure.
Hopefully I can give it a test run during this build.
