Double Checking the P-51

**Stormkahn** · 04-30-2011 03:44

Just got these through the post, not quite what I was expecting...

Air200 P-51B (That's what it says on the label)

Air200 P-51D

OK, so I've looked high and low and sometimes you just can't see the wood for the trees but...

The B looks like a D to me and although the D is a D I've not found many with that tail shape. Whatever, they aren't B's or C's, anything else?

cheers,

Dave.

The "B" is certainly a D, and the "D" looks like a crossing of something looking slightly like a FW 190 fuselage and a Mustang nose.

I think you hit dead on. Where are they from?

They're both Air200/Noble, basically I've decided the B is a very nice D, and the D is being re-worked to be a B. Basically the tail shape ETC are the same as a B so raising up the fuselage and covering that buble canopy will turn it into a B thus;
