Maly P-51B - Replacement Build

I decided it was time to dive in to this one.

I built one of these about 12 years ago and had it stationed on my desk at work. Unfortunately, I lost that job in 2009 and was not allowed to pack up my cubicle properly. My personal effects were thrown in a box and mailed to me including this model. It did not survive that experience.

So here I go again. I don't think I did any build thread of it, but if I had it would have been on a different forum.

I am sure I am not building this in the exact same way as before, at least I hope not. Instead of building this numerically by part number, I am focusing more on following the illustration sequences.

There is part of a page full of formers that get laminated onto 0.5 mm card. Its sufficient for the most part. I may beef up the main wing spar when I get to that point.

Anyway, I have completed the fuselage forward of the cockpit. Fit was good but a few formers were still a little undersized even after adding joining strips.
