RE: New old build p-51
I remember seeing that one on the auction block.
I would make regular wood-dowel pushrods with 2-56 wires on each end. The stand the model on its nose and drop a weighted string down the pushrod exit hole.
Pull it out through the wing hole, tie it to the end of the pushrod, and pull the string to guide the pushrod through.
