P-51 MUSTANG

Used

1944 P51 Mustang project for sale. This aircraft was built in 1944 and served with the 357th Fighter Group. It comes with genuine WWII provenance having made a force landing returning from fighter escort duties over Germany. The current vendor has started the process of restoration (c1500 man hours to date) though his professional commitments do not allow him to spend the amount of time required to bring this aircraft back to flying condition. Hence the sale. This is not a complete project though does comprise some of the difficult components to source. Included in the sale are many technical drawings to enable the restorer the opportunity to undertake work in line with factory spec. Just some of the main parts included in this sale are: Nose to STA75 Prop Governor New Smile (Air Intake under Prop) Oil Tank mounting lugs Firewall (Three sections) Firewall centre section (requires work though original) Most brackets on front of Firewall Firewall to wing fixture Fuselage STA 75 to 248 Both bottom Longerons to STA 168 One top longeron Brackets to join longerons to extensions All brackets to join longerons to frames 4 main wing mounting frames including fixtures to mount wing bolts Several other vertical frames Frames under longerons Rudder Bar Assembly 2 Parking brake compensators Master Brake cylinder Station 200 frames and tinware Most instruments (NOS) Six fuselage skins ready drilled Doghouse (most parts) After Doghouse frame and skins Scoop almost complete Scoop jack Flap jack bar and flap brackets Channel Assembly Turtle deck frames Inside cockpit skins (L and R) L&R bracket to carry transport tube STA 248 Parker primer Hydraulic reservoir assembly Primer Control column Bellcrank assembly Valve Assembly – hydraulic system Hydraulic flap operating strut Hydraulic Hand pump Hydraulic wing flap control Tailcone to STA 248 – 327 Fin Rudder 4 Stabiliser spars Brackets to Bolt stabiliser to Fuselage Hinge assemblies to attach elevators Elevator spars and brackets to carry frames Complete STA 248 frame Some vertical frames Beaver tail with T/W up lock Angle Assembly Tail wheel axle Tailwheel 4 Tailcone skins Frames on top of beaver tail Several frames below tail cone spar Fillet Assemblies L&R Wing: Original wings in three parts.
