Review: Airfix p-51 mustang - Airfix kits are fantastic I trust them
Review: Good kit with lots of interior detail - I was amazed at how much interior detail this model had, not only the cockpit but the bomb bay and gunner positions as well. The decals were great. I built the "hairy beast" version and was apprehensive that I would not be able to get the decals on the nose properly, but I had no problems. The only downside was getting the model to properly stand on its landing gear. I had trouble doing this even using the bomb bay ladder for support. With the interior detail, there was no room to add weight to the nose. I had to glue a piece of clear plastic sprue under one of the main gear wheels to get it to balance properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Build
*by N***X on December 11, 2020*

Good model! Since it's airfix, the panel lines and decals are great. I had a little trouble with the landing gear due to the structural design of the model. Had to use epoxy. The rest of the model goes together perfectly. Only 1 option for decals but they're really detailed, so no complaints.
