Daniel- the tape has beeen sealed in a thin coat of CA glue and represents a attachment cover.
Gil & Glenn- The intake would not fit and was not IMHO worth the effort. I used lead 'tape a weight' see picture below.
Dick - I'm not sure on how to submitt a article for the journal but I would be more than happy to ... s**t I would like to get in on the freebees handed out for doing reviews. Ha!
Rossjr- the canopy looks like a old pepsi bottle from 1963. I'll post pictures when I do the fix.
Chris so far the biggest problem was the fitting the resin gearbay into the wing. After looking at a few online builds I decided to approach it a little differently. I basicly cut out a rectangle around the opening (bottom side of wing) the plastic is very thick and sanded the ++++ out of it untill it was thin enought to pass as the metal skin and glued it back into place. Gap filled with CA then I thinned down the resin itself and only then did I sand down the upper wing. I plan on adding a little more plumbing and clean up work.
I will most likly rebuild or scratch out new gear doors as they are totally missing the inner details. Pitot tube picture included.

This is the Grand Phoenix kit (1/48) I still have lots of work left to do I plan on detailing the rear cockpit deck and I need to figure out what to do for a replacement canopy. So far I scratched out a FOD cover for the intake to hide the nose weight, added guns and pitot tube made from hypodermic needles, fabricated a new IFR probe and removed large sections of plastic just to fit the beautiful resin parts.

I can't understand the fanaticism over the Nazi subjects. Manufacturers in the end always seem to bend over backwards to appease this group regardless of how minor the offence. I only wish modelers could show the same type of enthusiasm for the P-51 Mustang arguable the greatest fighter of WW2... I don't get it. Example- the crowd on the dyperscale forum tossing their lollipops in the dirt to get attention seems to work... I guess. But these same people will toss you under the bus for busting Dragon chops on their POS Mustang(no amount of aftermarket or scratch building can save that debauchery)... Amazing
. In the end I will buy the Eduard 109 and big flipping deal I'll may even spend the extra 2 dollars for the the squadron replacement canopy... whoopie . To the folks at EDUARD- Mustangs Please we will not complain or cry if it is half as nice as your 109. -
Gil, Nice work on that oldie moldie -still one of my favorite kits warts and all.
-
Nice work- interesting scheme.
-
Good stuff Gil! hope to see more soon.
-
Wowzers! What a beauty. The rescribe really paid off.
-
Great looking builds! Very nice workmanship. Comments... few points to consider when doing another P-51D the- top engine cowling panels are two pieces (right and left sides), the canopy should rest on the fuselage and ETO mustangs did not use the long wire. Anywho congrats on a awesome pair of fine looking Mustangs.

Hard to beat a P-40 for being one of the most coolest birds of WWII, Nice choice using a RAAF scheme.

Greg,
- When Chris mentioned above that he is reviewing a Revell reissue of a Hind D, I assume that he is talking about the 1/48 scale Monogram kit. So, assuming that you are wishing for 1/48 resin/detail sets, Cobra company has had a cockpit and exterior resin detail sets out for a while now. They are set numbers 48001 and 48018. Here's their site link:
- Also, Eduard has photo etch sets for the exterior and interior too. They are set numbers 48-266 and 48-267.
- Good luck, hope this helps.
WOW, thanks for the info.
-
I hope someone will soon have a aftermarket pit for that kit.
-
Wow! That's a gorgeous Mustang, Greg! Very, very well-executed....
Are those kit decals?
well I spend a lot of time with the ponies so that helps, but yes those excellent decals came with the kit.
