If you are a lazy builder and can't finish a single kit in a year then this one's for you. I actually build this kind of stuff as a break from the long time projects that get boring after a while. It would be great for a young first time modeller and for about 3$ you can't go broke.

Yes it's a good old P-51D but it's the scale and size that make this one special. This is currently the smallest plane in my collection, length is not longer than the size of a finger ! This is a good one to test your macro function on your camera. (I used a Minolta Dimage Z1)

There's nothing in the cockpit, not even a seat, but the model is so small you can't see a thing from a foot away. And don't expect accuracy, this thing I build just for fun.

A little filler is needed at the wing to fuselage joint and a little piece of plasticard to fill the opening from the wheelwells.

Painting is straightforward and for the decals, well there's only one option in the kit, I looked for other decals in 1/144 but didn't find any. Maybe this is something for Mike Grant to fill in this gap. The only fiddly problem is masking and painting the canopy frame.
