P-51B Mustang

Together with the Focke Wulf I found this P-51B Mustang, also in 1:72 scale by Revell. Like the FW 190 this kit was completly sealed in box and didn’t cost much. Having had a look at the parts it seems to me that the forms weren’t as much used when this kit was produced as the Focke Wulf, since I didn’t spot as much flush like on the FW kit.

Both kits are labelled as skill level 3 (for the intermediate modeller) and it looks like there is a bit room for customising. But the reviews I saw around suggest to me, that there is no need for it.

Over all the kit seems to be in the well known quality of Revell kits and can be built “out of the box”. But there are detailing parts available (e.g. by Eduard.cz]
