I have literally just ordered this kit,along with the cockpit upgrade,mask set,both inside amd outside masks and metal U/C. I've been after this aircraft for a long time,
Go for it! I can honestly say that at *any* cost, you should avoid the old Modelcraft (Modelcrap) kit. I think I just took about 3 yrs. off my life by building one......only because I already had it for about 20 yrs. Yes, I can now say I have one on the shelf but wow.....never again. ;-)
Hello mr.head!that plane reminds me of pacific rim when they do the "drift"with sticky greetings from Brandenburg/germany.your fellow modellmate.christian
Hi Brett! This looks like a beautiful kit. It's out of my price range, but I'll put it on the when-I-win-the-lottery wish list. FYI, the windscreens look a little grey on purpose. They were designed to have a brushed effect to cut down glare. It's just another nice bit of detail from this Ukrainian manufacturer. Slava Ukraini! 😀
Your right not two P-51D’s. It’s two P51H’s. Small production run of the late versions of the P-51 that was altered and lightened for better performance. It makes no sense North American would build a totally new version to double it. They would have built a totally new airplane!

Sounds like you are all set for it!

Noted, I'll be sure to stay away from Modelcraft!
I've been tempted by the F/G version... But so many nice kits lately 🥳
Indeed!
It's a really cool model. Have a great build.
Cheers!
Very cool
Right! I think this will be an interesting kit!

Thats really interesting about the windscreen, I wouldn't have known, thanks for sharing!

Good to know!
If you can, get a copy of Squadron-Signal Mini Number 8 (F-82 Twin Mustang in action). It's a GOOD book!!!!!!!!!!
I'll keep an eye out for it, thanks for the recommendation!
