I built the original boxing of this kit a few years ago, and it makes a very nice looking H Mustang. The most difficulty I had was with getting the front canopy piece to fit the fuselage correctly (had to trim the inside if it), and the MLG leg attachment points are tricky. Other than that, it built up great and, out of the box had great detail, especially in the cockpit. I really like the scheme options in this boxing, and while it's tempting to have another go, I think I will just sit back and enjoy seeing all of your Mustang builds instead. Looking forward to it!
Amazing surface detail on the fuselage, the last P-51 I built was the Airfix kit, it was really nice but it lacked details, apparently Airfix doesn't like rivets and such. Great video, you got yourself another subscriber !! btw excuse my english, is not my native language.
Looks like a really nice kit. As a native Pennsylvanian, the day glo red version is interesting. I've never seen a PA ANG in that scheme. Other images I've seen were quite boring, with just red or white wing tips and spinners.
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Thursday, 4 July, 2024) This was rather more interesting than I initially had expected. Not only is each an excellent build, but your assembling, painting, decalling, etc., the four all in one go was a nice treat. I have a keen interest in the North American P-51D/K Mustang USAAF Fighter, but your reference in another post to the P-51H intrigues me: I had thought the -K variant was the latest to see combat in the Second World War (some more knowledgeable than I have insisted that it was the Korean War version, though others expressly have countered that). Maybe they had meant the P-51H version. In your brief outline of the P-51H fighter, you note that it was a new aircraft from the ground up. Where might I find here in RU-vid any historical account explicating further details of this? What model company makes larger-scale (1:32nd- or 1:24th-scale) assembly kits of the -H and the -K variants? I especially enjoy watching build videos of the models I wish I had the means to assemble. I would like to build highly detailed replicas of the P-51D, -H, and -K Mustang in a side-by-side display that would illustrate their similarities and differences. I especially (though not exclusively; an airfield diorama of ground crews servicing several aeroplanes, their cowls opened, their Packard-built Rolls Royce Merlins in full view, their cockpits revealing numerous details, has its own dramatic narrative) would enjoy building several Mustang models (for that matter, I must include Supermarine Spitfires, de Havilland Mosquitoes, Chance Vought Corsairs, Boeing Flying Fortresses, Consolidated Liberators, Lockheed Lightnings, etc.!) in-flight, each reproduction in a different size ratio in relation to the actual-1:24th-, 1:32nd-, 1:48th-, 1:72nd-, 1:100th-, 1:144th-, etc., scales-for a forced perspective airborne diorama, perhaps showing an echelon in flight; or maybe presenting a more dynamic encounter with detailed replicas of fighters in close-quarters combat against Messerschmitt Bf-109s and Focke Wulf FW-190s. If any of these ideas appeals to you, please proceed. Were it in my capacity, I would hire skilled model-builders (or several in a group build; and perhaps even several group builds!) to assemble projects as I depict herein, so that I can learn from them well prior to my embarking upon one myself.
Hello, Gregs Automobiles and Airplanes has a great video on the P-51H, its a little on the technical side, but none the less a very informative video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KGFsAOUdX7A.htmlsi=fVU_lno7R-wO9Ji_ your display Ideas sound very interesting, I am planning on displaying the full history of the Mustang in 1/48 scale, I still have a few more kits to buy, but I want to do the P-51 Prototype all the way through to the F-82 Twin mustang. Cheers.
one beef I have with Modelsvit is them sacrificing ergonomics for very minimal gain on details that you can't really see, other than that yea, great kits
Not familiar with this manufactuer, I suspect they are pricy, however , this kit would appear to justify a premium price based on detail, especially surface area detail, they took their time and researched it well.. If they are not made in Vietnam, I might take a look.
Its a Ukrainian company, and I think they're priced ok, you can usually find them between $50-60 depending on which online retailer you use. I got mine from Spruebrothers.com when it was on lightning deal, so I think it was like $25.
@@HammerheadModelMaking well you're spot on at the 60.00 range which is still a great price considering that quality. They are having a 20% sale but that's off 100.00. So I won't have to break the piggy bank yet, but know where to get them, Thanks again, its on the list...
Hi Brett. Thats a stunning looking P51. The moulding looks crisp and sharp. Those decals look amazing,I really like the red one but I also like the red chequerboard version too. Good review. Cheers bud.
