I've never seen a P-82 kit. I've seen several built from two P-51 kits. If you do that, be sure to find some of the drawings for both the P-82 and P-51. You will discover that although they look alike, the P-82 fuselage(s) is quite different from the P-51 fuselage in size and shape. People mistakenly believe the P-82 was built from two P-51s side by side. In reality, the P-82 was completely redesigned from the P-51. RCM ran some drawings a year or so ago, comparing the fuse outlines of both the P-51 and P-82. It was surprising to see the difference!
