Airfix BRAND NEW Starter Set - P-51D MUSTANG REVIEW

[@greenhilldesign]

I think these new starters have the philosophy of the old matchbox...keep it simple..i like it

[@MOS6510Models]

I agree!

[@jaws848]

​@@MOS6510Modelsat least they gave it drop thanks

[@ModelMinutes]

I was gonna say “how did you get yours before mine?!”, but then I remembered I never pre ordered it 😂. I did however preorder the Mustang and 109 dogfight double

[@Leviwalker617]

Hi model minutes are you planning to make a build video on the p51 and 109? Would love to see it. Keep up the good work

[@MOS6510Models]

I didnt know it was even released until it ended up on my bench lol

[@davidparry5479]

I got mine a few days ago I'm looking forward to this I not even opened my bok yet I have now five mustangs to fo that's including Maverick's mustang

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Nice Airfix Kit Review Mos!

[@MOS6510Models]

thank you

[@danbrazil2405]

I've just ordered 3 for our first caravan trip of the season away next weekend. One each for my kids and one for me. They look lovely and with crisp detail what's not to like?! Great review matey, great job all at Airfix!

[@stuff31]

Looks proper nice! Love the shadow stands on the new-generation starters we've been getting of late. Very good tooling!

[@MOS6510Models]

It sure is!

[@anthonybeech676]

Nice one Airfix. Pilot and stand look great. Also like the idea of snap-fit canopy and assembly of the propeller at the end so as to avoid damage and ease of painting.

[@MOS6510Models]

Yep. Its a good looking kit

[@intercity_trainspotting]

I’ve just ordered a p51 me262 set and I can’t wait!

[@t.j.lemaster8653]

I love airfix dog fight edition you get two planes paint and glue for a reasonable price! ❤️👍 Awesome inbox review my friend!

[@MOS6510Models]

thank you

[@iankerridge5720]

Yeah, I've got the Wildcats/Zero Dogfight Double and you get 9 paints and 2 brushes + spruegoo glue.

[@t.j.lemaster8653]

@@iankerridge5720 I have the Messerschmitt 109 /spitfire. awesome kit was fun and simple to build . you definitely get your bang for your buck with the dog fight kits!

[@Payne2view]

Interesting to see how simplified and with a reduced part count this version is, compared to the standard Airfix P-51. Not the re-boxing I thought it was at all. Ironically this simplified kit has a better moulded radio mast in as much as that part of the sprue does not have the fault the original does. I've got enough P-51 kits to keep me busy though so unless I buy it for the decals, I probably won't be getting it.

[@MOS6510Models]

Yes a good shout.. I will say that these are aimed at the growing america market

[@GhostRider247]

nice to see the stands returning !!! not eveyone wants to do undercarriage MOS !!! exellent , and tbh i don't mind paying a wee bit xtra for a kit with a stand included !!! well done airfix !!!

[@MOS6510Models]

those shadows stands are a brilliant edition

[@GhostRider247]

@@MOS6510Models definitely Mos , great for display !! bout time they came back , just like the old days of airfix !! kudos to them 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@alessiodecarolis]

Nice kit, I'm glad that they give also a stand, pity for the lack of the control panel & cloche in the cockpit. With other decals it could be personalized.

[@MOS6510Models]

Totally agree

[@AlanWitton]

Looks like a decent kit and it's a good review! I've recently got back into modelling after a long time and have recently finished building a 1:72 scale Bristol Beaufighter also from Airfix

[@MOS6510Models]

Glad I could help!

[@davroshalfbeard8368]

Cool little kit the stands for these models are really decent nice one airfix still want 1/48 tiger cat though 😂

[@MOS6510Models]

You and me both!

[@mylesfinn66]

That would be nice 👍

[@sorvad99]

looks great, I just built the redtails P51 and the plastic was awful, this however looks really good and the ariel mast looks much better, my last one was flimsy and covered in flash. I do like these sets, they come with a stand and look good when completed. Even though I've just made a P51 I think I'll get one of these and actually enjoy building it.

[@MOS6510Models]

its a fresh tooling so flash shouldnt even be in the mix on these kits :)

[@devensega]

I’m a seasoned modeller but I’m new to aircraft, these starter sets are great to get into this part of modelling. I’m keen to see how well the clip on canopy works, it’s a faff to put them on in the three aircraft I’ve done so far.

[@MOS6510Models]

interesting.. are you talking about the spitfire?

[@devensega]

​@@MOS6510Modelsno I meant if the clip on canopy you have with this mustang works. I've done three aircraft so far and find gluing the canopies on a proper ballache tbh.

[@MOS6510Models]

@@devensega oh these new starter kit ones clip in the front and a tiny dab of glue at the front This one is clipped both ends I think they are excellent

[@NikCan66]

Fabulous review

[@MOS6510Models]

thank you

[@stephenbeckett8797]

just got the new starter set of the 1/72 mustang from airfix, and also revell's mustang number 04148. and my god you can tell the differents. i think that revell kit must be an old tooling (very old).

[@MOS6510Models]

Yep.. probably a matchbox tooling too

[@markbailey3508]

This is a well thought out kit, I did start their original P51 from a few years ago and lost the interest as it was fiddly to build

[@MOS6510Models]

very well thought out kit

[@goingbork1522]

ughh i cant wait till this comes out across the pond

[@MOS6510Models]

this is aimed at the american market

[@goingbork1522]

@@MOS6510Models yes, i just have friend who recently got into the hobby. He's not quite ready for the more complicated kits (he just finished a revell B-25 snap) so i think this and the Bf109F-4 would be perfect for him

[@iankerridge5720]

Pilot looks good, not a generic blobby guy!

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 🛩

[@HellfireModels]

Apart from the canopy and stand it looks near identical to their old p-51 tooling lmao

[@MOS6510Models]

less part count and less fiddly

[@SteveT-0]

Nice! it's not something I'd do as 1/72 is too small for me but it is a nice addition to the starter sets and i'm sure it'll sell well.

[@jaws848]

If their other 1/72 mustangs are anything to go by it will

[@MOS6510Models]

Fingers crossed!
