CAD Design for P51 Mustang Replica
« on: October 14, 2023, 03:51:45 PM »
Hello. Sorry to disturb. My name is Marian Madalin, a male engineer from Bucharest, Romania. I want to build a P51 Mustang Replica for display, I have some sponsors here who help me with free materials and services. I want to use the drawings of mr. Marcel Jurca to do the parts and assembly, but the drawings are in PDF, and I want an assumed, responsible, serious volunteer CAD engineer to help me redraw the drawings from the PDF and put them into DXF files, so it can be easily cut on CNC from plywood, aluminium, steel etc... I have some progress on the frames and formers (pictures in private). The Mustang will be displayed for a new aviation museum project I am currently developing. The CAD engineer will be mentioned on the sponsor's list on the project website.

Hi Marian,

I see your post is old, but I just joined this forum a few days ago. I also have an interest in the P-51 Mustang (who doesn't ??), and I am curious how your project is going. I tried to do some models of a 3/4 scale Mustang, but stopped. Most of my efforts now are related to a V-1650-9 Packard Merlin engine. I have many original castings, but I also 3D printed full size parts to fill in what I am missing.

If you are interested in my work, here is my Flickr web page link. Look in "Tom's Merlin Parts."    https://flickr.com/photos/130143587@N02/albums/

But back to you. Have you made progress ?   I have done a lot of modeling, I might be bale to help you. But this is time consuming, so I have to be careful what I promise !

Cheers, Tom Kay, Ottawa Canada.

I think you should find a CAD engineer, as they can convert your PDF drawings into accurate DXF files for CNC cutting.
