Hi Gavin. Interesting choice. How you would compare this to a regular P51 kit in terms of detail. These 'snap together' kits can be perfect for a quick build. I have done a few of the Airfix starter sets - Red Arrows Hawk, Spitfire IX and just finishing the Me Bf109F-4, all of which I bought from a local shop for about £10 each. These also come with neat little 'shadow' stands (and paint for those of us who don't mind Humbrol acrylics). Also did the excellent Zvezda 1/72 Hurricane IIC and Me Bf109F-2. All these were uncomplicated but very satisfying builds and allowed the painting to begin straightaway. Cheers, Neil
Hi Neil, there isn't much detail on the kit, its very basic. I do love those Airfix kits with the new shadow stands, they are the sort of kits anyone can sink their teeth in to. This build was a day project that turned onto a two day project, u think it took longer to edit the videos. Next up I'm doing an Bf110, my favourite WWII aircraft. However I made a complete mess of it. Ive not long completed it and promptly chucked it in the bin. The wife rescued it though so I've done the videos and they'll be up after the p51 for better or worse.
