Nic C.D. Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thank you all for the nice comments! It really isn't a hard kit to build, and for the price (it was under 30 euro) you get a lot of value. The engine was built and painted too and since the top engine cover isn't glued, you can see it, but no extra detail was added, like I usually do. I'm sorry about the bazookas - I thought they looked cool. I didn't research the use of it by the Polish squadron... My bad! I'm working on KH's F-5 now, another nice kit from them. For that one, I did ad some detail to the cockpit though... Thanks for looking! Nic R Palimaka and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Just checking in Nic, and your work on this is awesome! I haven’t seen many builds of this aircraft before, and yours sets a new standard. Thanks as always for sharing! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Doesn't look like a Mustang to me. It's a pity Nic didn't choose a better canvas to display his outstanding skills!

There are also fuselage shape issues too many to mention here. Heaven knows I’m not one who’s shy at butchering plastic but the Trumpeter’s P-51B is beyond redemption. YMMV of course. For 5 euros more, Nic could have bought the Revell early P-51D and build it. That would be a different story. Cheers, Quang D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look at the Revell kit over the Trumpeter one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
