| Your OCD is flaring up again Gary, are you taking your pills? |

| I had the same concern with my Comet P-51. It looked to me like it was smoothed out a bit by the D model. When I found a picture of the camera mount it helped. |

| Sky; You are right - the Guillows kit is all wrong around the radiator scoop. It is a slab-sided cross-section NOT the rounded shape that is presented. It doesn't take much to make it right, just a PITA when you first see the error. BTW< welcome back. |

Not exactly a sharp image, but wanted to show that I trimmed away much of the longeron around the cockpit area. It's my intent, to try the "drop box" method of installing the cockpit. |

The build commences. Finally getting to cut and glue wood. It's been awhile..... |

Another "slight" difference was how the belly scoop faired into the lower fuselage. The Guillow's shows a rather sharp curve ending into the lower belly, whereas the 3-views shows a more modest blending. I'm going with the 3-views. Shouldn't be too hard to handle.... I hope |

As seen from my previous post, the vertical tails are nearly exact in overall dimensions |

Surprisingly, the vertical tails match perfectly... |

The differences become more apparent. Since it's my intentions to both infill and over-plank the fuselage, I decided not to enlarge most of the formers. Instead, the planking and the added thickness with compensate for me (or so the theory goes). |

Delving a bit deeper revealed just s slight difference. As will be seen on the next post. |

I enlarged a set of 3-views to scale and was surprised to find that Guillow's fuselage matches the 3-views fairly close |
