Default RE: What parts did you use to build your CMP P-51 140? (Build thread)

Not a lot to report on. I have filled in the lightening holes on the wing to get it ready for glass. Left one open on each bottom side for the aileron servos and will cut opening further in for the flaps. The trailing edge will need some attention to get it closer to scale before the glass goes on too. The other picture is a nice detail shot I came across when looking for reference materials and I thought othres could use it too. The cockpit picture is very high-resolution so you can zoom in quite a bit to see the details.

I have a question for others who've had this plane; what did you do for engine cooling? Do I have to cut a big air exit at the rear of the engine bay?



For those who have too much time on their hands:
