I posted something similar to this in the ARF section but figured I would try here as well..
I have a .60 size version of the P-51 Voodoo that I have had for a several years, see attached images. It is one of those off brand ARF's but the quality is very good, I was actually quite surprised with the fit and finish considering what I paid for it.
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 roughly the same size. I have already looked at the Hanger 9 Miss America and it is just a little too big. There is not a Hobby Shop close by and there are not alot of people in this area that fly warbirds nor are there many .60 size warbirds around to compare to. Basically I am just trying to find something that is a close fit, it doesn't have to be exact as I can paint it if need be. If all esle fails I will try to glass this one and start over, but I am a bit pressed for time to get this thing back in the air.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call fiberglass specialties and tell then the firewall dimensions and likely they can match something up for you. When you hear how much, you may want to repair your existing one, which is what I would do. Good kuck,
