I just got mine yesterday, I’m really astonished at the quality of this piece. I have last years Armas P-51 B/C and it’s really good but the Eduards is top notch, thank you for sharing

Arma Hooby are bringing out the D later this year so I'm looking to see how that comes together. I'm assuming it'll be very much like the B/C

Just got to the bit about the decals - I actually work for a decal company (for MANY years!) and the varnish is critical! As a modeller myself, my aim is to make the varnish tight around the image/marking whilst giving enough coverage to keep the decal stable on application. I have produced decals which have been sent to Cartograf for printing and they always come back absolutely superb, always tight, crisp and accurate in colour (they do a very nice four colour process for nose art too, a different print process to the usual 'spot-colour' markings for lettering/numbers etc). This looks like one area where Eduard can definitely step up their game as everything else they do is of the highest standard. Their varnish looks very slip-shod, much too wide a margin around the image, could definitely do better!

I have always liked the P 51D and this kit looks outstanding, looks like the loft pile is going to expand again (I really need more spare time in my life, oh, and a LOT more spare cash!).

A very nice and thorough review. When I build a dual combo kit I use a bright yellow hi lighter for my first scheme and pink for the second kit. This helps an old guy like me to not get them mixed up!

[@The_Male_Modeller]

That's a great tip!

5:11 that B-VF scheme is of the P-51 that can be seen in the Raf Museum in London. Looking forward to seeing more of this great set

Would have liked ti see a p-40f, p-38f,g,h
One day...

[@The_Male_Modeller]

They're working on the p-40 in 1/48th so it wouldn't surprise me if we see the 1/72 one soon too. I'd love them to bring out the Zero and the Tempest in 1/72 too!

Great review, Thank you for sharing. I just ordered 4 Over trees kits 2-D's and 2 D-5's From Sprue Brothers. They are having a sale, they come up to around $9 each and I have a lot of Mustang decals to take care of them. Looking forwards to see if they release a 72nd P-51 B/C kit. Hope you have a great week, Cheers, Tony
