Default RE: Finishing for a TF GS P-51D

Russ,

It's 1:5.6 roughly from the WS and length meas. The nomenclature is a bit large but the 1;6 transfers were impossible to deal with.

The coolent vents and drains are low and aft, fillers are are high and forward. The panel for the "coolant, filler" (comma=new line) call-out is just behind the prop spinner on the left side and just above the imaginary line through the exhaust stacks. Looking head on it would be at the 1:00-2:00 position. The forward most of the three panels on the top of the cowl panel is "aftercoolant filler, filling instructions, inside". Next is "oil, filling instructions, inside" and last is "hyd, fluid, tank"

Chris,

I've seen so much of your work over the years; Pics, planes, models, pics of models......all great
