When you 've used up all the old ones.

Good morning

I totally agree with Andre we really need a new P51B/C Mustang in 1/72 , this is the old Hasegawa kit reboxed and it has some issues ..

Notably Hasegawa fitted D model wings as a cost saving exercise, hoping nobody would notice the difference

It's no secret that the best P-51 B/C still is the old Monogrsm kit. Wonder if Hobby 2000 knew or... ?

If you look through the Hobby 2000 range, you will notice they rebox Hasegawa and Fujimi exclusively.
Plus remember about one thing: the most accurate kit is not necessarily the best one from the casual customer POV.

Sad to say that there still is no accurate kit of the P-51B/C in 1/72. Untill one is made (Arma Hobby ?) I keep on with the old Monogram...

You sound like my missus! 🤣

 

Liking the look of this kit. Going to be the Andrewsfield based option for me and some nice schemes included. Should be a hit.

Happy to see at least someone is utilizing potential of this tooling, if Hasegawa itself fails to do that. Still nice and acceptably accurate kit for 96% modellers.
