? for the P-51 Mustang experts


Recommended Posts

I just noticed that Quickboost has come out with a set of 1/72 P-51D (well that's what they are listed as) Mustang resin exhausts. Question I have is, these exhausts are rounded - are they accurate for the P-51D version? if so, are these earlier P-51Ds? Thx!

They'd be correct for the P-51D with unshrouded exhausts. (the shrouds were often removed in the field) I'm assuming you're talking about this set from Quickboost:

To my knowledge there was no difference between the exhaust stacks on the B, D and K.

Shrouded D (summer of 1945, just post-war):

Unshrouded K (late war):

Unshrouded B (at least during maintenance):
