"Another great little kit by Airfix"

clunymike

This is a very well done kit of one of the most iconic fighters of WWII. The fit is good, the details are crisp, and the panel lines are nice and clean (maybe a little too pronounced, but at least you can tell they're there). The kit only required a little sanding and puttying. There was a little bit of flash on my kit, for example the antenna was pretty much ruined by it, and I had to replace it with a piece of wire. I was also annoyed about how some of the pieces were connected to the sprue. The control stick for example was connected right in the middle, and I'm not sure how anyone could avoid breaking it in half. Other than that it was a lot of fun. I liked all of the options: you can choose from canopy open or closed, landing gear up or down, flaps up or down, and a few others. Most everything went together well and it looks great when you're done.

"Just a great all-around deal"

Achu001

I've done two of these kits now, and fit has been very good (not perfect) on both. The recessed panel lines are accurate and deep enough for 1/72. The weakest areas for this kit are the main gear (very weak attach point), and the small items on the sprue have been difficult to remove cleanly. Almost no flash on anything except the small parts. For 8 bucks, I'll probably do a couple more and have fun trying different schemes and techniques!

"A must have kit"

allendmincey

This is a really good kit to be creative with. I've been wanting to build the old crow P-51D for a long time but couldn't find what I was looking for until I saw this kit. it's easy to understand why this kit is currently unavailable. True the plastic is soft but, just be careful! The decals are a mix of academy and Airfix they seemed to hold up pretty well. So far this is one of the best P-51D kits I've built and when I get the chance I'm going to build some more. But, I promise to share some of them with others.

This kit is excellent, from the separate bubble canopy and frame to the detailed wheel wells, THIS is have a model should be designed and manufactured. It's obvious a lot of thought went into the engineering and I salute Airfix not only for the quality but also for keeping the price reasonable. The decal sheet is beautiful and thorough and the instructions are handsome. I highly recommend this kit. It builds into a beautiful reproduction.
