Announcement of the P-51 B\/C Mustang<\/a> kit from Arma Hobby received significant attention from modellers on the Internet. It has met your expectations sent us in emails, blog and social media comments since over a year. You expressed your trust in Arma Hobby abilities to release the highest quality model of P-51B\/C. You were also not afraid to ask questions about the Mustang kit, and there was one point you were primarily concerned, the leading edge of the wing. That was made wrong in many other companies kits. So let me answer your questions now!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Designing Mustang kit<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mustang kit design is a result of many months of research work on aeroplane construction. The project started from establishing correct general shapes and dimensions of the Mustang, based on factory documentation, and was made by Maciej Noszczak, well-known author of scale drawings you may know from many books. Then it was my turn, and I focused on airframe details and double-checking general shapes. Fortunately, Mustang B\/C wasn’t changed too much during the production run, and the most challenging part of the kit design was to make dorsal fin fit easy for modellers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leading Edge from P-51-B\/C and not from D<\/h2>\n

Your main concern is the wing leading edge. I designed according to factory drawings of the P-51 B\/C. The leading edge line breaks at the correct rib and with the correct angle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We started with factory drawings.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have double-checked factory drawings with aeroplane photos.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is the model leading edge<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can note leading edge drop towards fuselage bottom in the front view (it would be a reason for your concerns when looking at 3D pictures).<\/em><\/p>\n

P-51 B\/C Mustang production versions<\/h2>\n

It is time to speak about production blocks. A very few changes appeared during the production of P-51B. We tried to include most of them in the model design in modellers friendly way.<\/p>\n

A small panel after exhaust pipes in early P-51B versions. We will include it in photo-etched parts and decals according to modeller’s choice.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
