| How NOT to build a P-51 Mustang
How does anyone make a mistake like that ! someone wants to inform this character that the sharp bit of the wing is at the rear ! I still cannot believe that someone would even put this on E-bay as well,is it someones idea of a joke ?
Reminds me of Schrabak who sold a delightful little miniature of the DC-3 Dakota,the box art showed a nose wheel undercarriage !

| | All Round Modeller | To be honest, I am surprised he got the wing to fit as nicely as he has done but even then surely he must have noticed even the markings, especially on the upper surface, were the wrong way round too...!!!!
and that tailwheel is very suspect too...!!!
Still given that it took him 20 hours to build, then it's no wonder he got this wrong...!!
Shame really coz the paint job looks ok otherwise.
Regards...........Mark.

| | All Round Modeller | Barry, believe it or not I was in a model shop round here many years back where a guy brought in a foam electric fun fly model back for a refund because it wouldn't fly despite everything he had tried, the shop owner gave him a refund and took the plane back (he specialised more in trains than planes) it was only after the customer had got his refund and left, I was chatting with the shop owner & had a look at the plane and saw straight away why it wouldn't fly...the wings were banded on backwards...!!!! I told the shop owner...he still managed to sell the plane after that.
Regards......Mark. | |
