1/32 IMCTH P-51D Desktop Mustang WIP.......1/2 will be covered with Aluminum Panels

Thanks for the compliments.  Unfortunately, this may sound stupid, but after I posted the picture, a few things didn't look right. Today I ripped it apart and remade everything out of aluminum and brass. I'll post updated pictures when it's complete.

Cheers

Finished the Elevator Trim Tab Controls this evening.  Time to skin the Starboard Stabilizer.

Made a test panel out of .005 thick Aluminum.  Size is just about perfect.  I need to figure out a better way to get the rivets more uniform.

Top and bottom Stabilizer Skins are on.  Onto the leading edge.

Leading Edge complete

Completed Stabilizer, and Elevators

Slow progress.  Added the Rudder Trim Tab Controls and pullies, bulkhead pullies, and made the skin for the starboard veretical fin.

Cheers

Started working on the Empennage skin and applied the Vertical Fin skin. It looks good from the outside, but when you look at it from the inside, it needs more work. I didn't get it placed correctly before I applied the glue........

Cheers

very awesome, it is very cool work

New Vertical Fin Skin has been applied and the Leading Edge Skin is ready to apply

Leading Edge Skin glued in place

Wing Tip ready to install

I can't believe it's been since November 25th since I've been able to work on this.  The Tail Wheel and some of the cables have been added.

Looks great, buddy!

Tail Wheel Up-Lock mechanism installed.  Cables will be pulled tought when fuselage is assembled.
