Can anyone tell me how many kits were in the Accurate Miniatures Mustang series? What were they?

I guess I should have stated which ones I have. Here's what I've got, can anyone tell me which ones I am missing?

#3400 P-51 Mustang (x2)
#3401 A-36 Apache
#3402 P-51A Mustang (x2)
#3418 P-51B Mustang (bagged kit direct from AM)
#3419 P-51C Mustang (bagged kit direct from AM)
#480017 F-6A Mustang

I also have the decals from the RAF Mustang (#3410) Mk IA, which I think I've been told I can use with the P-51A since it was the same kit with different decals (although I will need instructions for the RAF version).

Rob,

You've got most of them covered. The only edition you appear to be missing is the F6B. And I cannot remember, nor could I find anything on the internet to say if the F6C had been released before with the old B/C models or not.

Additionally, I believe the RAF Mk Ia is armed with the four 20-mm cannon, so you should use one of the P-51's, not P-51A's to do it up right. I have kit 3410 and can scan in the instructions/painting reference if you'd like; just let me know and give a some time as I have to un-bury my scanner (any flat surface in my office becomes a place to stack detritus, and my scanner is no exception).

Cheers

Dave, I would appreciate a scan of the instructions. I knew it was either the P-51 or P-51A that I had an extra for a reason. Someday I may even get around to building them.

Rob,

I haven't forgot the instruction scans. I should be able to get to it this weekend. Darned holidays taking up my time

Thanks Dave, but there's no hurry.
