All parts; including nuts, bolts, washers, etc; accurately modeled to original North American Aviation drawings and AN, MS, NASM specifications. The package includes the CAD model in DWG (2018), STL, STP, and Parasolid X-B formats; 3D PDF of the model and 2D PDF of the parts list as generated. Model sub-assembly reference NAA drawings 97-34103 and 97-34101. Assembly for P-51 B & C is similar. Fully detailed internal components.
The Tail Wheel Declutch mechanism (shown in blue-grey) is for reference only and is not included but is available as a separate assembly.

The P-51 Mustang Project:Our primary purpose is the review of methods applicable to the design and construction of historical aircraft. The P-51 Mustang has been one of our primary subjects for research in criteria of conic design. Inherent to this research we have developed a number of mechanical assemblies in CAD to ascertain positional relationships and study the construction methods.
The 3D CAD models are professionally developed; some of which are now being made available publicly for the first time. The Parts list drawings include important dimensional information to accurately locate components.
The original ipt and iam Autodesk Inventor cad files can be made available on special request.
