  • The North American P-51D Mustang is probably one of the most famous fighter aicraft used during the Second World War, & the Airfix kit of this plane in 1/72 seems to be pretty popular too!
    Join me on the workbench in this video as I get this kit out of my stash and onto my display shelf by completing an "out of the box" build. I'll also be rounding off my build of the Airfix North American P-51D Mustang (A01004A) plastic model kit in 1/72 scale, with a review at the end - discussing any issues with the kit I have found and reflecting on my modelling skills.

    Fun fact:a P51 once landed on an Aircraft carrier and no P51s landed on an Aircraft carrier since!

    I've built this tooling a few times. The faulty moulded radio mast has always been a problem. Other than that, it is my favourite P-51D kit.

    the right wing looks a bit dirty

    Blue nosed bubbletop Mustangs hold a special sentimental value to me, since the very first kit I built for public display was a Tamiya 1:72 P-51D in that beautiful paint scheme. I've been looking for an interesting tooling of the 51 to apply ten years of further modelling experience and expertise to, and I think I might just get the Airfix one.

    Lovely work! The blue nose was done very cleanly, and the silver paint looks delightful. Great video! :D

    Love the intro Matt. Been trying to chip away at my small 1/72 stuff. The wife says "Build what you have!"

    I was just about to comment that the kit could use some additional wash when I realised that the panel lines are already quite deep and that you had the same reasoning.

    Cheers Matt for this video, now I can't wait to get stuck into my airfix mustang aswell as my hobbyboss 1/48 P51 that I still haven't gotten around to yet! 😂

    Nice finish Mat, it's been around for a while, still not a bad kit, done mine as a red tail. Easy to listening Mat.

  • @dennizkucuk835

    quick point here. Since you do a lot of metallic work, I highly recommend you try the Vallejo Metallic series of airbrush paints. they're full acrylic, and don't need to be thinned for use in an airbrush since they already come diluted for airbrush work. (This is NOT the model air range. the metallic range is separate.)

    Love the P-51. I did the red tails one a few years ago and thinking of getting another P-51.
