First Arma Hobbies kit I've seen and I'm amazed at what a great kit it is. I saw a review of it in Fine Scale Modeler magazine a year or so ago and it was rated quite high, I can see why. Should be a fun build.....one I figure out what one to build, a few options !

BTW ... that's not the P-51D but P-51B. I have edited the title of the thread ...

Well I have to say WOW just WOW, I am floored by this kit. First time ever with an Arma Hobby kit. In fact I have never heard of them before. I read a review of this kit in Fine Scale Model magazine and it was rated quite good. The level of detail is fantastic. I think this is the most detailed 1:72 scale kit I've ever built. Interior is amazing and comes with lots of very tiny decals which are a bit of a challenge but well worth the effort. Everything fits. Parts clean uo is a bit on the excessive side. The attachment points to the sprues are quite large, especially the finer parts. I broke the oxygen hose trying to separate it. Comes with masks and options for several planes. Some pictures of the interior.

Very impressive and Merry Christmas to you and yours. I use Tamiya saws for almost all of my parts removal, especially small parts

That's some nice detail, especially for 1/72nd scale.
Have a great Christmas.
