I’ve gone from avoiding Airfix as if it was carry the plauge to actually looking forward to their releases. Good to see they have moved with the times.

If it’s anything like the 72nd scale one it will be a winner. I do hope there is an option for the filletless early tail.

There’s always an option…X-acto blade, putty and sandpaper!!![proplr]

or the Ultracast conversion piece…

If this kit gets released with the “Detroit Miss” markings I will certainly be building this one!!

I miss those markings since Revell re-released the Monogram P-51D without them.

7

I haven’t bought a 48th kit in a long time…I probably would, with those markings.

I really wish they’d pop out more marking options for their 72nd P-51’s.

You can always use this…

Eduard is going to own the P-51 game come 2018-19!

It’s marginally possible I have the Detroit Miss markings from that kit in my decal stash.

PM me if you wantme to look for them, and I’ll see if I have them. I know I had two of those kits as a kid and never got to the decal stage, so theoretically I still have them.

As for the filletless tail, the sprue shot Airfix shared appears to have both options molded as inserts.
