I just got off the phone with Darrell Tenny of Sierra giant scale gear, Another guy I give a 100% on my scale!! he is sending the tail gear for the stang so I will be able to finish up the fuse
soon. I worked lastnite and got all the wing ribs printed on the ply and balsa and Monday I will
cut all the parts out. Work is going kinda fast on the P-51 Nick Ziroli did his homework on the
stang plans, making it easy to just build build build!!! I will post more pic's soon.

Regards,
Dan Crawford

Well I did a little work on the P-51 tonite as I was feeling ok. I am going to try the slidding canopy, I cut some rails from plastic and cut the canopy we will see!
Here are some new pic's I just built a new vert fin as I did not like the first one.

Dan Crawford

I have found that you dont have to get too fancy with colors after the planes have be aluminum plated, the lines of mustang will more defined after its polished up I will keep this picture on file. Dan the paint work on that cowl is going to be alot easier the P-47 I'm working on.

Any pictures of the wing yet?


Ron

The Evergreen Air Museum in Oregon has a restored Mustang painted similarly as seen below.

Here are a couple more really nice pics but in these the squadron codes have been replaced with Oregon Air National Guard markings.
