well.
if I were to give a ranking for this model I'd give it a 5. with attached comment: the boy (sic) does not apply and does not exploit its hypothetical potential. Furthermore, it is lazy and sloppy, and end up doing the same things twice to not verify the historical references. the result at the end there, but it's messed up because of the constant alterations that would easily be avoided from the outset.
finally today I retailed a couple of hours to carry out the last little things ... the retaining cable of the spinner.

nothing special, rather, in my opinion mounted propeller too well highlights the fact that the fuselage and spinner do not speak very much each other! ... but I've done it, so there is!
5804
the thing on top of the radiator, totally absent in the kit. a piece of sprue, one of Spandau, a picture of a placard of P51, and a wire. that's it.
5813
about the undercarriage.. a mess. Here the loop of steel cable (copper
) at the end of axis travel.
5797
and here the damping system, let's call it. in the British aircraft were strings of rubber, in the Germans' were springs covered with soft sheaths, all covered by canvas ... but I did not resist the charm of the plot ..
5819
5820
with its wheel in place. I'm trying to figure out the color of the tires, from the b/n pictures it seems a light grey ...
5821
the whole, less the two tension rods and the washer, nut & bolt to retain the wheels.

Now if I had the physic may glue in the template with epoxy, but in fact, I've got the physic. it's from 4 of this morning I'm around, and I've lost count of the last night of proper rest to a human being...
so, goodnight!
