P-51D Mustang

My favorite build by far. Also made it as Big Beautiful Doll and the decals are gorgeous on it. For an inexpensive kit, the best one out there. Parts fit pretty well, I honestly didn't even putty it and it looks great. I would build this many times again if anything should happen to my first build *fingers crossed*

This is a very nice little kit, especially for the price. A nice and simple built that didn't take a long time to complete. There are only two real problems i found. The first was that the decals used for the check pattern on the nose (I used the paint scheme from the 55th FG) was a bit of a problem. The second problem I found wasn't really the fault of the kit, but of my own preferences. I build my models with the gear up in flight configuration. The main landing gear doors fit into the bottom of the aircraft just fine, but the doors for the tail wheel were molded into the fuselage in the open position, requiring some cutting. But beyond that, this was a fun and simple weekend build that loks great next to my 1/48 B-17G.

With so many versions and kits from which to choose, this version appealed to me most. Who could ever get tired of looking at a P-51? It is one of those planes of which I want to model a whole fleet . But where to display all of them? And to see one in action isn't hard for they are everywhere so a lot of people love this beauty. Even saw one at a stadium flyover that excited me more than the game! This Revell kit is a fine choice for one gets a model that is easy to build, has great fit and shows this beauty well. I have built more pricey kits but for my skill level this one shows nicely. The price is good and I got a good model.
