P-51Bs, together with the later D, had wooden floors in the cockpit.Tamiya got it wrong in this kit. That is not to say that you haven't done a lovely job of this model. You have. It's a lovely rendition of possibly the most famous ETO P-51B, Don Gentile's 'Shangri-La'. The a/c sadly met an ignominious end though, after he crashed it doing a low level pass for the press whilst at Debden. Urban legend states the wreckage was bulldozed into a pit. Are the remains still extant? Hmmm....

And, on the books, it was listed as "missing in action"...

[@markfranks1329]

@@alantoon5708 There are photos of the a/c crumpled with a broken back taken at Debden after the mishap. Gentile was immediately sent back to the US on a 'War Bonds' tour in order to save the AAF face.

Great build. I am also interested in making my own modelling videos.

*Tamiya kits are often the best, you built this one successfully!*

[@ArdeconHobby]

thanks, mate, my friend.

[@markfranks1329]

Tamiya kits are indeed of the highest quality and often are the best. They are, however, only human and therefore susceptible to errors and mistakes.
Learn to take a little criticism on the chin. It makes you a better person.
Honest.

@@markfranks1329 This kits are a real good base for beginners or scratch building. Ang build them is so easy than you can focus on paint and weathering. So yes, they still are the best even if other brands provide more accurate kits.

[@markfranks1329]

@@foreverplastickits138 Agreed. You've made some fair points.

Back then, Revell made that scale 1/32 .they all had some difficulties , but looked awesome when done. I still build scale aircraft kits military and ships and armor. The variety of so many brands is really astounding and extremely challenging. . I'm 64 and still build, just love scale models. Running out of room for displaying builds and my stash is with outroom I have to move elsewhere ñow cuz the stash is well beyond the limits so I store them at the home of my significant significant other.

[@ArdeconHobby]

thank you, John we are in the same situation the only difference is I'm 5 years older than you, good luck to both of us.

[@robertjensen1438]

It turned out really nice. Well done.

[@ArdeconHobby]

Thanks, Robert

That particular model was the 1st 1//32 plane I built when I was 12 . This plane ,a P51 b was flown by Don Gentile.. 8th AA ,4th figher group.
