Review: Fun to build and extra fun to paint - This is a fine model. I've worked on mine for days and I'd say this one is targeted at a little-above-average builder. The pieces come together really well, I didn't have to do much filling/sanding. It comes with a really good set of decals. The good: Overall the model looks great, especially for the price tag. It has enough pieces to be fun to glue and has a lot of paint work, too. I'd say assembly is easy and paint is middle-hard. I had an awful lot of fun painting the instrument panel with all those minuscule dials. External painting is also challenging, as you can see by the photo, especially the propeller head. Some masking is required. The not-so-good: Cockpit gave me mixed feelings. At a first moment I was a bit disappointed that it had the side panels printed on the sides of the body, without a lot of details, but in the end it comes along ok. There seems to be some inconsistency in the level of details among parts. While some are incredibly detailed (instrument panel, ammo, landing gear box), others lack (side panels, engine). The ugly: I didn't want to say that, but the checkerboard decal was really really hard to put on. Not sure if there would be alternatives, though.
Review: Great Model to Start With - My middle school aged son wanted to try and complete a model for the first time and chose this one. It is the perfect mix of challenging and easy enough to do and he is loving working on it. Only thing to note is that you do need to buy your own model glue. The kit does NOT come with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Built this as a confidacne booster - it was a great choice!
*by S***9 on May 24, 2016*

I chose this model because I needed a confidence booster after I built the German Focke Wulf ( Revell Focke Wulf FW 200 C-5/ C-8 Condor ). The P-51, to me, is a classic US war plane. Second only to the F-4 gull-wing Corsair from WWII (which I also built, see photo). The Corsair was the first model I built since my pre-teen years, and that was quite a long time ago. Back to the P-51 ... I had a lot of fun with this build. Not too many parts so I really tried to focus on taking my time. As with all the models I am building, I try to keep close to the recommended paint scheme but using what paint I have on hand. The pilot can come out and the canopy do open and close, and the prop turns. There were decals for two or three set ups, I sort of combined all of them. I think that an intermediate would have no trouble with this - easy build but lots of fun.
