Hi Robert, the kit is made by RS Models, and is a short-run injection offering that has recently been re-released. They do a 'USAF' version and an 'ANG' version. The dimensions and shape are mostly OK, apart from the tail department which is a bit of a mess. I spent a lot of time correcting that, using the excellent 1/48 Modelsvit kit as a guide. I also used flaps from an Airfix D-model slightly reshaped. As it's a short run kit you need to do a fair bit of clean-up and cut the canopy if you want to display it open. Once the memories fade a bit more I'll use the kit as the basis for a set of XP-51F/G/J.
A fantastic model, Justin!
Welcome aboard!
