RE: Easy Tiger Models Giant Warbirds Pros/Cons
I also bought the P 51 B from Easy tiger .I have read a few posts about bad experiences with Curtis but I got great service and quick shipping. I am duplicating the markings of the P51 that Capt. John England flew. One thing that bothers me about these giant scale arfs are the over exaggerated panel lines and rivet detail. I stripped the paint and filled the panel lines and rivets with body glaze. The glaze shrinks a small amount and leaves a much smaller detail. The full scale plane was natural aluminum on the bottom so I applied flitemetal and repainted the top. I didn't feel the retracts were up to the task so I rebuilt the gear mounts and installed Sierra gear.
