blanked off the radiator intake/exhaust. the kit just had open space and I didnt want a see-thru effect. So all combined, its a bit tricky to line up. Also in the image is the work to mount the replacement exhausts. Talk about trial and error!! :oops:

Careful clamping and glue helped seal things together without giant gaps.

a bit of putty and sanding next!

and much curvier! the profile is smoother than the -D model. The radiator scoop is a longer curve, as is the topline of the fuselage

P-51h profile

its just so interesting looking between the two variants, especially since Im much more familiar with the -D

I feel the D looks more aggressive.

I am going to have to apologize to everybody here. I just lost heart in that Avenger and I doubt I will get to it for a while but if Mike you all of you will accept me again I'll find something to get it done with some where,some how.

Not a problem dude. Take your time. If you get back to the avenger let us know and keep us updated.
As many have pointed out to me, its a hobby, not a job.
If you find something else you want to enter, let me know and ill update the front page.
