STEP BY STEPI used the dashboard from the LÖÖK product line, catalog number644268.Right cockpit sidewall. Details are painted with a brush, edges arepainted in a lighter shade.Left cockpit sidewall, painted using the same process.While it is more work to paint such a part, the one piece seat juststicks to the cockpit after painting. I painted the seat belts andpadding with a brush.The Royal Class P-51B/C 1/48 package includes a 3D printedseat, which itself includes the pilot's harness.INFO Eduard61May 2024Page 3

STEP BY STEPAfter gluing the fuselage together, I scribed the rivets that were partly erased and the necessary maintenance doors for the particular version.A view of the assembled cockpit. You can see the seat very well. I finished the rivets on the engine cowling and madean imitation of the quick release screws.INFO Eduard64May 2024Page 6
STEP BY STEPI also finished the rivets on the bottom of the fuselage.The part representing the machine gunbarrels is very well molded with thewing halves.To mask the undercarriage bays I cutmasks from kabuki tape according tothe undercarriage doors.Assembled model before the first spraying.The plastic made radiator is already bettercompared to the P-51D. Just paint it and theresult is satisfactory.View of the built-up LÖÖK instrument panel in the cockpit.INFO Eduard65May 2024Page 7
