P-51B, 1/72 KP

[Xirurg]

Hi

 

Here is my latest build - P-51B by KP. Flown by John T. Godfrey
This is OOB build so you would probably notice a few things - a big one is missing pylons. All Mustangs are suppose to have 'em but KP for some reason decided to not include it in this kit but sell separately. Well, not a nice move, KP.

 

Paint - Tamiya acrylic

That's really lovely - good bare metallic effect as well

Really nice build and good metal finish! I do like high back Mustangs. What's the kit like to build?

Aside from minor fit issue and missing pylons it was great. They also missed a step in manual but I figured it out. I was also surprised by the way they did the canopy - rather than making it oval shape at the back they included parts of the fuselage. I guess that makes production easier. Also I think every other A/B/C kit done it that way except for Frog one.
I've built Frog Mustang before so it was totally unexpected.

This was my first KP kit. Will I buy another one? Definitely I will.
