Newer airfix kits has really stepped up their game with these 1/48 scale Aircrafts, especially this Mustang. Perfect decals, perfect fit, literally no issues. Would recommend to any intermediate model builder!
This isn’t a trivial build, but it is extremely well engineered and has a great amount of detail
My copy had badly fitting wings, it seems to be a fairly common issue, but a lot of dry fitting, clamps and brute force got it all together
I should add that I put on the mirror, riveting and painted most of the markings (this is Douglas Bader’s 242 squadron)
Does not get 5* because a lot of construction is internal and not seen when model is finished. Seems to be more for the model making purist. Quite fiddly to say the least.
