If I only had one
model to build I think the choice would come down to the Tamiya P-51B/D.
For ease
of build, accuracy and colour options these kits have it all. This one is the
P-51 Mustang III built in RAF markings FB166 of 315 "Deblinski"
Squadron, a Polish squadron. The Mustang III was widely used for sweeps,
fighter/bomber
missions and interception of the V-1 rocket. The RAF Mustang squadrons were
also to make a name for themselves escorting RAF Coastal Command Strike
Wings on long range missions protecting Mosquito and Beaufighters attacking Axis
shipping.

I built the kit out of the box
only adding a pilot from PJ productions (I think!) It went together in a weekend
such is the ease of fit.
I used paints from Tamiya and
varnish from Polyscale. Decals were from Techmod and went on
brilliantly. This kit is well recommended for anyone who's in need of
some modelling therapy.
