Nice build, just that the wheels should be pointing the opposite direction.

Loved the idea of PVA Glue on decals.

That was a excellent build sir, I liked the idea of the leather around the 'dash board' that is probably missed a lot of the time,, best regards from Australia, Les

amazing build

Nice work, did you notice the comment about the wheels?

Very, very nice work but I do have a couple of points for you: (Pointers, not criticisms) First is in the Cockpit - the Large rectangular block behind the pilot's seat, under the radios is actually ALWAYS an off-Black as it is a rubberised coating for the main fuselage Fueltank - Effectively a self sealing coating, which was not painted. The second point is something Tamiya should have noted: "LOU IV/Athlene" was a P-51D-5 NA, which was the First production block of D models. It had a different Instrument Panel Layout, closer to the B/C layout and there was no fin fillet at the base of the tail. (Compare the kit fuselage to the side of the box showing "LOU IV/Athlene"). Why they decided to include this option is a bit of a mystery as it is a rather hard-to-fix error as the Tailplane has very slightly higher up with a slightly different (2 degrees?) angle of incidence compared to the D10 block production and after. The Airfix 1/48 P51-D-5 kit (A-05138) has the filletless tail, the "Swayback" field- fitted-fillet (say THAT quick 3x!! ;-) ) And the standard factory fitted fillet parts, all in the one boxing. As a Bonus, the wheel well is accurate, unlike Tamiya's trench... And the IP is a new part too. Personally I hesitate to buy Quinta as I believe they are (or were) Russian made, although I heard they 'recently' relocated to ?Khazakhstan? Red Fox Studios is Hungarian, and do beautiful 3d cockpits.

Seatbelts? Nice build

I built this back in 2022 it was really good. Also question. From your experience would you rather hobby boss or Hasegawa. I cant choose but which is easier like the instructions and skill level

Lou iv, was a P-51D-5, it had no tail fin

Valejho has a green primer?
