Awesome!

This is how we used to build them with cement and paint brushes with real emamel paint,basic model building to satisfy yourself and not others,I like the bold approach for total fun as opposed to immaculate air brushed finishes,each to their own but get a good paintbrush and good results can be achieved,the only thing I would have done would be to rub down the join lines and touch up the paintwork while you have the exact shade available,please take my comments as being in the spirit of model building and not just for criticism. it is just we all build in a different way.

MUSTANG/ HAYATE...WILDCAT/ZERO...SPITFIRE/ME 262...TEMPEST/ME 109... they’re considered collector kits now...great box art simple decals...they sold for 1.00$ US...still a good kit...you always do a great job

Hi I have just bought one of these as well as a tamiya one . Why do they not have pilots and an option to close the rear wheel opening.

@ModelMinutes

4 жыл бұрын

Some model kits do - the Airfix P51D in 1/72 comes with a pilot and the option to close the landing gear. It depends on the specific manufacturer, but I feel as though they are all moving towards crew-less kits these days :(

i have made revell kits for many years. every kit has been ok. my first plane was this mustang. (i like the bf109, spitfire mk5, hurricane mk2c made by revell) (they are easy and cheap) but this mustang (i bought it again) and it had fitting issues with me getting the pilot and stuff to the plane but once i removed the tabs (and put a ton of glue) it was ok. i didnt remember that this kit is hard, i have nearly built the mustang and to be honest i expected the same great detail that is on those 3 planes that i like, but the pilot kinda replased the missing detail and the joystick. also i kinda messed up with the propeller (the piece you put into it, not the blades) ( i hitted it a little bit too hard trying to get it in but its an easy fix) Nice video!

Good build and paint work. I noticed you left the seam along the fuselage....was that due to this just being a basic quick build? Too bad the kit had no pilot figure. Keep having fun.Bill.

@ModelMinutes

8 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I left the seam primarily for speed (good spot!) and because I was being a bit lazy. A pilot figure was included, I just omitted it as it looked a bit . . well . . weird. That, and I'm not a fan of having pilot figures in aircraft that are on the ground (wheels down), if i had a stand for it, i'd put the wheels up and add the pilot. Thanks for the comments! Really appreciate the support!

Academy makes a decent razor-back p 51. If you're looking for a "Malcolm hood". Some of the Czech companies, such as Azmodel or the recently issued Kovozavody Prostejov kits could be the way to go.

I find this particular kit to be the worst, poorest detailed kit in 1/72 of this aircraft. The prop spinner and droptanks are massively oversized, and the vertical tail is completely wrong. I've avoided getting this kit. Incidently, the company name, Revell, is taken from the French word "reveille", and is pronounced "rev-ELL". The Revell family name is pronounced "REV-ell". There is no connection between the two, though our family did come over from France during the 1066 invasion. 😎
