hi I have recently come to own a P-15 yellow Rockwell model.
I thought it was a World model's plane till i compared the wing span. my P51 is only 43 inches tip to tip. The world models web site say's that the wing span should be 83.5 inches.

So does anyone know of a manufacturer of a yellow Rockwell arf with a wing span of 43 inches(give or take a smidge) other then world models ?
thx!!

You were right there is a -46 model and it's wingspan is supposed to be 53 inches. I just got through remeasuring the wing span on my plane, there is some dihedral<sp> in the wing so I measured the wing from the top and the bottom 43 and 1/8th from the top and 43 and 1/2 from the bottom.

Would someone that has the the -46 p51 please measure there wing span and shoot me a note or post here there wing span.

I am hopeing to find the manufacturer of this plane so I can order a wing kit.
thx for your time and effort !!

I had a .46 sized World Mustang, and I gaurantee that the wing is over 50". I would guess 53-57".

What you have doesn't sound like the World version.
