I am just about to complete 68!QUOT! P51. I really like the model. It is not perfect, but for under $200 you can't beat it. I sanded down the seam and repainted the top including the cockpit and repainted part of the nose. I am replicating the paint scheme on !QUOT!Old Rednose!QUOT!, P-51 owned by the Commemorative Air Force here in Texas. I striped the rudder and monokoted it in red, white, and blue. I epoxied the landing gear area to reinforce it. I used the white canopy glue to glue down the front belly pan, and a thick clear gel adhesive to glue down the radiator intake to the wing. You will have to trim the intake underneath a bit to get it to sit right. I used clear silicon to make a seal between the wing and the body. It had some wrinkles, but I carefully used my heat gun and iron to smooth them out. I am going to use a side mounted Super Tiger 90 with a pitts muffler, I may go inverted buy have not made up my mind yet. I would love to use a 120 4-cycle, but I don't want to spend $300+ on an engine when I have a drag racing car to keep up, LOL! ST 90's are only around $100. I am using the retracts that GSP sells for the plane. I took them apart and added a thin washer where they pivot. It took out the extra play. I am anxious to fly it, I am not sure how to post pics on this site. I will try and get some up in a month or so.

Good luck,
Danny
