PaladinLJJ Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 This is newest MENG model aircraft kit, easy for assemble, have quite nice detail, but also with one weakness-belt is no include, so I built belt by meself. In my opinion, it would be a better chioce than TAMIYA kit. 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Builder Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Great build and super finish. Mengs Mustang seems better than Tamiyas one from your pictures. These new kits with snap fits are probably the future very similar to what Bandai is doing with Gundams. Maybe well have kits with both snap fit and glue parts in future too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustango70 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Very nice build. The only thing that makes me scratch my head is the shape of the dorsal fin on your model. In Brett Green's build it is different and correct when compared to the real thing: http://www.hyperscale.com/2016/features/mengp51d48constrbg_1.htm Where does this difference come from?

Bob Henry Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Nice build. I sure wish that the other manufacturers would also fix their errors in the landing gear bay area. Meng got it pretty close. Bob H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's truly similar with Gundam, but in fact, Meng wants to make it easier and faster build for modeller with skill and looking for a better kit.

PattheCat Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 An American beauty, indeed. Nice paint and weathering, interesting and colourful markings. Your "homemade" seatbelts look really convincing. How do you make these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added the red line following the dorsal fillet. Compare it to Tamiya's dorsal fillet. And Brett Green's Meng model is different on this part.

Well, that could be a manufacturing defect, I found left side of vertical tail have the same problem. I was lucky, others were not, ha ha, look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
