Es de relieve hundido, excelente pieza, muy bien detallado, todo encaja a la perfeccion. Lo volvería a comprar y lo volvería a armar.

My friend absolutely loved this product!!!

product used as part of my collection. lightning decals need improving as they breakup and fold over themselves. plane is very well detailed otherwise.

This is a kit that Airfix didn’t have to make, given that your 1/48 P-51D has been well represented by the likes of Hasegawa, Tamiya, Revell, Italeri, Hobby Boss and Meng. Buyers are already spoiled for choice of well engineered kits with plenty of building options, so it’s unexpected to see Airfix join a very crowded marketplace.However, it’s fair to say that Airfix has done a brilliant job and has laid down a statement of intent that it intended to produce the definitive Mustang, at least until someone else decides to have a crack at it.Detail is exceptional, with very fine moulding seen everywhere. There’s been criticism from some quarters as to the depth of the panel lines and rivets, but the real article had filler applied to wings and body to smooth the airflow, so there’s no reason why the keen modeller shouldn’t do the same.The slightly odd fit of the wing box, tail structure and fin makes sense if you’re looking to release variants in the near future (much like Airfix’s Meteor in the same scale). Filleted and non-filleted fins, factory specific variants, even the wing shape of later Mustangs will be easily catered for without massive retooling, thus giving Airfix a chance to market some niche variants of this well known aircraft.I’ve yet to fully assemble this kit, but early impressions are very good indeed.While I’d rather that Airfix turned its attention to some unsung planes in this scale (Hawker Tempest, Westland Welkin and Whirlwind, a decent 1:48 Typhoon and the Canadair Sabre), the prolific nature of scale Mustangs means that there are plenty of comparative kits from rival manufacturers which will be found wanting.The only criticism that I can justifiably levy is that there are only two kit options out of the box, the more colourful of the two is quite challenging on the eye. If you’ve a spare set of decals from another manufacturer’s P51d then you’ve more options open to you, but having said that Airfix’s decals are excellent.
