FT Mustang

[DazDaMan]

I'm about to start working on my very first FT Mustang.

Is there anything I should look out for?

I'm planning on converting it to a P-51C instead of building the more common D-model.

The Wing Joining can be tricky.

 

[Mr Man]

Did you ever figure out how to convert it to the C/B model?

 

[DazDaMan]

I haven't made an actual start to building the Mustang yet, but I'm planning on making a couple of formers similar to the Spitfire (or my Mustang-based Me109) to form the shape.

 

[Mr Man]

Ok, cool!

 

[DazDaMan]

Something like this....

I had to ask because I’m currently working on an ft Mustang with a bomb drop.

Ah, I see.

Yeah, a couple of formers in the back, like the Spit, but more rounded on the top.

Cool! I already finished my mustang, so no b/c model for now. Maybe later.

Here are some pics.

That looks good. I probably won't start my Mustang until early next year.

The drop mechanism is an old drone parachute.
