FW P-51 Old Crow

[RAFALR30]

The factory cockpit seemed uninteresting to me. So I decided to make a new cockpit interior. I added a few elements.

nice makeover of the cockpit! What kit did you use for those parts?

These are not kit or 3D printed parts. I made everything myself from what I had in the boxes, and the clocks and switches are photos from the Internet.

Wow! Nicely done! I too have enjoyed making my own parts, especially aircraft or spacecraft cockpits.

I am looking at getting the "Old Crow" P-51 but I want to change the livery al little bit. Anyone had success in removing water slide decals??

Some people have used ice, I just painted over them



Now in my case, I was going from Iron Ass to Old Crow but same process.

I wish to add some red paint to the nose of plane.
Will blue painters tape remove the silver paint from plane after painting?
Thanks Steve

Has anyone found a metal main gear damper set to replace the plastic ones? Had one of the plastic ones break recently in a very uneventful normal landing. Thanks.

I have also had that problem. The strut wants to compress too much and snaps the Damper set. What I have done is take a 5mm solid carbon fiber rod, cut a piece about 1/4 inch long. place it inside the strut under the spring. That keeps it from compressing so much. I haven't had a problem since...
