RE: Don Smith P-51D
This sheeting that came with this kit, is, I think the worst quality balsa I have ever had to use. If I weren't going to cover the whole thing with glass, I would scrap all the sheeting for the fuselage and buy new stuff. I have a suggestion for anyone that may be paying attention. The cowl is about 1/8th inch short of meeting the sheeting where the formers are on the plan. I am going to cut and add a doubler to the front side of formers 4 and 2. This is not a big thing, but had I noticed it before I got this far, I could have maybe done it before the sheeting went on. It would have been a little easer. Of course, you could just move the two formers forward about 3/8 inch while in the layout stage of the game and then sheet accordingly to the plan.
