RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

I just spent the day putting old Vortac bomb drop mechanisms into my wing and getting the Lado Tech gear in the wings. This is a tedious part of the build to get right. Thanks Rotccapt for all the...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Ok, here are pictures of "Big Beautiful Doll" from the Andrews AFB Armed Forces Open House in 1995 or 1996. I got to see this plane fly in formation with 3 other P-51Ds and a B-17 over DC during an...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Hi Gents.

Yes it was a Top Flite .60 kit. It's the same version available now. Top Flite used to offer the Drop Tanks. They are scale. I had added working bomb mechanisms to the plane. ...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Ok. Since I've been lurking here, I thought I would share my P-51 (before the crash). This was build and flown in the 1995 time frame. It had a ST-90 (the source of the crash) and CJM retracts. I...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Asphalt:

I couldn't agree more with your point of view on the Top Flite kit. Overall, the joy of this kit is in the building. I honestly have not not heard that these kits have a long...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Asphalt, I struggled with doors on mine for two months trying different configurations. The CJM retracts have the same problems you are describing with the Robarts. There is just not quite enough...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Jamie,

Nice job so far. I remember fitting in mine long ago. I spent a lot of time on this step and had to remove an alarming amount of material like you!

I would recommend running some...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

(1) My CJM retracts were very solid. My major complaint with them were that they were too stiff causing too much stress to be transferred to the wings. I did have a machinist friend of mine do a...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

I'm really glad to see this thread here. I built this bad boy back in 1995. I started construction in mid June and finished it in November, just before Thanksgiving that year. This was one of the...
