I always have fun with models but some are more fun than others. In this case, the mold is from 1973 as you will see in the final picture, the advancement of technology is astounding. There were fit issues between the canopy parts and the lack of cockpit detail and optional position of flaps that are available on the new Airfix P-51 show this. My own shortcomings show up with a missing wheel well door on the right landing leg and slightly misaligned pitot tubes.
