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!!
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-51 d profile
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.

Got him, with a BV155 and KI-115.
Sergio, do you have a scale and a make of those kits?
