Merlin Engine Ref. pics needed

Hi all, I just started on the 1/32 Hasa P-51D “Man o War” kit and have decided to open up a bit of the engine panels to show details there. I have a couple of pics that show some of the plumbing but am wondering if anybody out there has some diagrams/ pics that show the wiring and plumbing of the sides and top of the engine.

The pics that I have are of a mustang during what looks like a rebuild and show the engine with all the cowlings removed but they arent that great for plumbing details.[banghead]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Expect problems with this kit, particularly the cockpit area and wing root., you should look into getting an AM cockpit AND engine as the ones provided are kinda crappy.[:)], and if i remember right the engine don’t even have mounts.

I’ve been doing some research on the Packard engines (the V-12 4M-2500 for the PT-Boats) do a google search “Packard V-1650” (a P-51 Engine) and you’ll get some good hits.
