Fiddlers Green July 4th P-51

[Bob Penikas]

Howdy,

Introducing paper modeling to a good friend I suggested the Fiddlers Green free 4th of July P-51 download. He happily completed the model and sent a picture.
1.
I mentioned simple enhancing techniques and put together the Fiddler’s P-51 while taking a series of in-process snap shots to help with his next build.

Sharing them with you:

Moveable Propeller assembly:
2. Prop wires added to each blade. Notice they do not meet at the center. This is to allow a prop shaft.

3. Prop blade backs glued over wires.

4. Prop assembly through nose piece.

5.Tires/wheels are punched out using a disc cutter.

6.Tire disc glued together

7.Wires for mounting gear to wing

8.A pallet knife helps spreading glue evenly for layering parts.

9.Exhaust thickness multiplied with layers.

10.Gloss coating the canopy a few times during the build process.this enhances the look of the model when completed.

11. & 12. Completed model with enhancements.
