## Description

It only took 102 days after an initial order was commissioned by the British, for the North American Mustang to be imagined; even during a time of war, the prototype rolled off the manufacturing floor in September of 1940. Seeing a significant drop in performance above 15,000 feet, variations quickly followed to keep up with the battles that constantly took place above this elevation over Europe. The Mustang wasn't used by the United States until their oversight of lack in defence for when their day bomber formations started to become a beacon for the Luftwaffe, proving that remaining tried and true only allows the enemy an advantage and left the bombers vulnerable to future attacks. Once the Mustang started escorting the bombers, the roles were reversed and the Germans quickly saw themselves as the vulnerable ones as their fighters lacked the speed and altitude the Mustang had gained in their updates and were easily picked apart and shot down giving the Allies significant air superiority. Over the course of the war, the Mustang assumed many roles as far as air-to-combat to destroying enemy transports, the Mustang racked up over 10,000 airplanes destroyed in the air and on the ground and stood as one, if not the best, aircraft fighter to take to the skies and dominate to help change the outcome of WWII.

Review: Great 1/48 P-51D from The New Airfix. - Excellent detail, accuracy, and quality. The instructions are thorough, and include painting guides to two famous P-51's. Parts are included for early and late tail sections as well as three different canopies. Decals are by Cartograph and are of the usual quality by that company. However, desertcart needs to stop shipping model kits in just the mailing envelope. My kit box was crunched on one side...but the model was fine. This model is better than the 25 year old Tamiya and is as good as the Meng. I do not know about the Eduard kit...
Review: Best Vampire available in 1/48 - The historic nature of the DH100 is well known with over 3,000 aircraft built in multiple versions. The F3 version here is an early operational model with 4 20mm cannons in the nose and the drop tanks are in three pieces. Needing 15 grams of nose weight makes a tight fit in the front and some can be added to the wing tanks to add forward weight. The pilot figure is ok but was replaced with a Tamiya RAF pilot with more detail. Now building the F5/9 version and the 1/32 model is on the way. A good item for the modeler with an interest in WWII jets and the history of jet technology.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 1/48 P-51D from The New Airfix.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Vampire available in 1/48
*by N***R on January 25, 2024*

The F3 version here is an early operational model with 4 20mm cannons in the nose and the drop tanks are in three pieces.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best of the Vampires
*by D***R on September 13, 2023*

Well-designed and engineered, my kit had no problems at all. Everything fits nicely and the instructions are clear and precise. The best of all the Vampire kits available. Highly recommended. NOTE - At the time I write (13 Sep 2023) the photo on the Amazon site is of an F-86, not a Vampire. Don't be deceived, it's really a Vampire.
