What parts for the ball turret are you not gonna be using? You may be better off getting the D kit now and swapping the panel where the BT would go from the D to the J and drilling a hole for the radome. Then just putt all the parts for J BT right to the D kit. They should fit with little to no modification.

I think it’s gonna easier if you look specific individual aircraft that carried the ball turret. I went to google info to help you and didn’t expect this is a rabbit hole when I started. Turns out there was a whole bomb group in the eto that took all the ball turrets out because of weight. And, the revell 1/48 D kit doesn’t have a ball turret in the kit which I’m surprised by. I wanna go check my it now. Bigger rabbit hole than I anticipated.

Can you post pics of the specific parts you’re working with on the Eduard kit please? I don’t have any Eduard P-51’s but have built many others. Tamiya has 2 pins on each flap, I just cut them off and glued the flaps in the up position. I don’t see why you can’t modify them and just glue the doors in the closed position.

Google image search that particular group and squadron? Also search without image and maybe find a webpage for that squadron. I’ve found info similar to what you’re looking for like this before. Sorry I don’t a direct answer.

You can go to the other sub forum and copy and paste there and delete this. personally it doesn’t bother me. I’d rather have these in here than having to sift through all the jet builds.

You’ve never a 48th scale B-17 before? They’re big but there are bigger. I should have mine today too.

Thank you very much!

Panchito decals with the monogram B-25J kit?? I’ve never seen those decals in that box.
-
Would you consider doing pitot tubes for B-17’s in 48th scale? For both F and G models.

So I did find a revell and ICM kit for the C-45. Thought I had seen a AT-11 kit in 48th, but can only find 1/72. Oh well I guess.
-
Yeah, that was a helpful response.
-
I forgot all about this kit!! I will be getting this! correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there also another WWII twin engine trainer kit in 1/48 out there?? Such as an AT-11? I know there are C-45 kits in 1/48 but thought I had seen a AT-11 kit somewhere

Same guy messaged me. It was suspicious right away to me when he put a phone number for faster response. Hard pass.
