      P-51B 'Scarlet Kate' 1/72

      Academy 1/72 kit. I built this at the same time as a Revell P-51B as a comparison of the two kits. This one has a True Details cockpit set though nothing can be seen of it through the canopy Decals are home-made, invasion stripes are painted.

      Very nicely done indeed. You've certainly cracked the NMF which is unforgiving to put it mildly.
      Cheers

      That is some very nice work there Mike, and in 1/72 scale too. With the amount of detail i would say 1/32, love it bud a big five.

      Have fun, John

      A really good model - nice one. But which did you prefer Revell or Academy ? Both can be very good, but I've never done a back to back.

      Thanks for the comment Colin. The Academy is probably slightly easier to build (except for an annoying rear fuselage join that needs cleaning up) but I think the Revell has the edge in accuracy, though it's also a pretty straightforward build. Here's the Revell kit for comparison:-
