You're Top Poster: #77   |  P-51 Infosheet Required Hi Fellow Aeronuts, My name is Keith, keen scratchbuild aeromodeller. Hoping to start a new venture, P-51, having a problem finding a well detailed and acurate 3-view and cut-away to use as a starting point. I have a spare Saito 4 stroke looking to me to find it a good new host. Can any of the forum help me find same to create a 1/4 scale masterpiece, I hope. Cheers Keith Last edited by Keith; 24-02-2008 at 11:58 AM. |

You're Top Poster: #1 | Welcome Keith, not being a model builder I can't help much but have you tried some of the modeling forums? Seems most that are available have to be bought. However, have you tried these: RC Model Airplanes Free Plans! - Site Search Some require a DXF (CAD drawing) viewer which are readily available for free, for example freedwgviewer. Presumably something like this isn't detailed enough: P 51 D

You're Top Poster: #77 | P-51 Infosheet Hi Kyt, Many thanks for your interest, your 3view is the best i've seen so far. Trying to build true to scale, I will continue looking for a good cut-away Again thanks for your contribution. Someone has said to try Russia as a source ! I know Hangar 9 do a nice RTF but it's not the same, I am a builder not a pilot, but I am learning.. Cheers Keith. |

You're Top Poster: #77 | Hi Kyt, Again thanks for Russian Site info. This may be the one where I had some info from for my last model which I think may be of interest, a 70" Lysander with passenger gun mounted in rear of cockpit. When I find out how to send a pic I'll send you one. Cheers Keith |

You're Top Poster: #29  | See: pp 94-97: ""Classic World War II Aircrat Cutaways" by Bill Gunston, 1995. Osprey Aerospace. This contains some excellent cutaway linedrawings, one port, one starboard, as well as a detail of the cockpit which includes where the individual instruments were. Two pages (front & back) are double wide (foldout). I wonder it the official Army Aircorps TM manual might also help. |

You're Top Poster: #2  | Hi Keith See if you can get in touch with a Dick Phillips in the US. I don't have his contact details handy but pop on Warbird Information Exchange and ask around for him. He is THE P-51 guru and should be able to point you in the right direction if he can't help you with his collection. Failing that, I have some contacts in the UK that can put you in touch with some Mustang owners. Also, ask Geedee on this forum. He is currently building a cockpit for a P-51.

You're Top Poster: #24 | Hi Keith Found these on ebay...380002688821 Aviation P-51 Mustang 2/3 Scale Aircraft Plans - Engine....might be of use. Other than that, I do have the full set of engineering blueprints for the complete Mustang range from the A to the H model...all 16000 plus drawings !!....but unfortunately they are not easily sorted into 'sets'. Around 2% are unreadable. Again, I got this set from ebay. Certainly a lot easier than going to the Smithsonian and looking at all the original microfiche files....and a lot cheaper as well !. Oh, sorry, forgot....welcome to the forum !
