P51D to P51A/B/C conversion.

Posted by MGM on Sun Nov 18, 2001 08:42:20 PM

Hi all...again !

I know this has already been done with the fuselage of TFC's P51B/C.
How difficult would it be, and how expensive, to convert a D to an A/B/C for a strictly static restoration, including the wings ?
Would it be more/less expensive than getting Gerry Beck to build a new one ?

I'm not particularly keen on this kind of conversion, and I would never ever consider it if we only had a few D's left, but I'm just wondering on a strictly technical basis....NOT historical !

Yours with BIG (mad ?)ideas.
Mick
