Looking for replacement cowl
I have a .60 size version of the P-51 Voodoo that I have had for a several years, see attached image. I am in the process of swapping out the engine and am trying to find a replacement cowl. Does anyone have any idea of one that will work? I have found a couple of places that have the plane but are unable to part with just a cowl. I would be willing to use a cowl from any model as long as it is the same size. I have already looked at the Hanger 9 Miss America and it is just a little too big.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Looking for replacement cowl
Did you check Top Flight (distributed by Tower Hobbies)? The TF 60 Size Mustang is sold as a Kit and an ARF so you can very likely order just a cowl. You could also ask down at the warbirds forum. Those guys know of places that sell replacement cowls for many models. It might also help if you told us what brand your model is. Someone may have one to offer you.

RE: Looking for replacement cowl
I have been looking for one of the Top Flight models, as well as any other .60 size Mustang, around here to compare to but have yet to find one. We don't have a Hobby Shop close by and there are a limited number of pilots who fly warbirds here. As far as a brand, not really sure. It is one of those off brand ARF's, however the quality is very good. Considering what I paid for it, it is put together very well and flies very good. I have found a couple of places that carry them and I believe they are distributed by Fly Models, but like I said the places I have been able to get ahold of won't send just a cowl.
Thank you very much for your response, I will also try the warbird forum.

Fly models is distributed by Nitro Planes. They have subforum here in the ARF/RTF forum you can ask there for product support or go direct to the website and verify they carry your plane.
