We do P51 versions also

[Dave Hadfield]

So, I'll bite -- what does it actuate? Cowl flaps? Radiator shutters?

In a D-model they control the coolant and oil cooler doors.

I was going to ask also. Looks great, can't wait to see it in action!

Amazing work!

Which P-82/F-82 will she be going into?

Cheers,

These are for the coolant doors, but the black box on the end containing all the gubbins is twice the size of a P51 version. LOTS more stuff in there.

Great work on the repro. cover!

From someone who knows how much time, effort and hard work goes into creating something like that

[ZRX61]

It turns out the company that originally made these things is still around in the HVAC business.

Nice!

[VCS1]

Just wondering (from an earlier thread) what did you use to paint the actuator with to get the yellow Zinc-Chromate color? Or is it actually Zinc Chromate? Nice job on the unit. Is it for the C&P or Reilly F-82 Restoration project?

[Obergrafeter]

I'm sure the Museaum of the USAF is going to put it on the one the accquired from the CAF!

[ZRX61]

I'll take a look at the paint next week, pretty sure it's yellow Z/Chr.

They are for the F82 that's further along than the other one

& since someone mentioned the CAF one....
Is the one that the AF got back from the CAF the one that was at Gillespie Field in San Diego?
