North American P-51D-5 Mustang

Meng's 1/48 scale F-35A Lightning II is available online from Squadron for USD$59.99

I have just completed a test shot of the forthcoming Revell 1/32 scale P-51D Mustang.

You can see my in-box review video by following this link; and an illustrated guide to building and painting the cockpit here.

This is a really nice kit with a high level of detail. Surface textures are subtle too. 

Fit is almost perfect up to and including the point that the wings and fuselage are mated. After that, a bit of trimming and fiddling around the wing gun inserts and the big bottom intake was necessary. Nothing too burdensome though, and it may have been a test shot issue.

The only after-market parts used are Eduard's STEEL harness straps and True Details' main wheels. 

Decals are from Cutting Edge's set no. CED32085 as the kit decals are not ready yet.

I'll be writing this one up in detail for Issue 81 of Military Illustrated Modeller magazine.
