archybean Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Calling all P-51 experts. I'm working on a diorama to include a what-if P-51 racer. What I'm wondering is...when they were bought surplus, did people typically fly them out after they were purchased, or were they taken apart and crated for a move? I guess if it is a what-if, I could show it any way I want. I think it would look neat to have the wings crated together, and the fuselage being worked on. In that case, does anyone have pictures or information on what the wings would look like crated? And what would the fuselage look like when the wings were taken off? Thanks, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
