Here are some more images of Airfix's 1/24 scale P 51 D Mustang. Until
Trumpeter came out with their P 51 D this was the only 1/24 P 51 in
town. Two things about this model, the first thing which seems to be a
recurring theme with most Airfix 1/24 scale aircraft is an incredible
lack of detail in the wheel wells. I can see having to sacrifice some
detail to make retractable landing gear but at least scribe some lines.
How could they put detailing in the rest of the aircraft and ignore the
wheel wells? So one may wish to do a bit of scratch building in this
area. The second is an assembly problem, the wing roots do not line up
properly with the fuselage so as a result some shoe horning and filling
is going to be required. However in the end it makes for a nice looking
model.
