Good kit

By: jeremy.s.michels1

It builds well with little in the way of fit problems. There are essentially 4 halves of the plane. Each side is split into two sections, and when pairing them together there can be some alignment problems. There is a good number of decal markings available on the sheet, it has several optional loads and the kit has good detail to it. The price is reasonable for a kit of this type and the huge majority of builders are not that concerned with the finer details of things and be very happy with the results.

A very good early P-51

By: hhpodesta

This is a very good model of an early P-51, for its price, is very well molded, great details. It comes with air-ground rockets and fuel tanks, which are nice additions. The decals were a problem, in my case, especially the Normandy-invasion black and white stripes and the propeller nose cone, i saw that they were too fragile, so i decided to do them with the airbrush instead, with nice results in this case. The assemble work was in general smooth. I liked the way the kit ended up being.

Good Build, expecally for a beginner.

By: chrislehman05

I have built three of these, I am hoping to build about five more as I am useing them for a scale airfield. The kit is fairly clean minus some alignment issues. The parts don't require a whole bunch of sanding though. The instructions are pretty straight forward and simple to read. I have had an issue on two that I have made with the decals, no matter what I do, they wont soften that much. I have tried decal setting and softening solution along with heat. I think it is a problem with them being a bit thick.
