    Thank You for Your good comments! I'm seriously considering buying another Mustang, this time less complicated, because after the Arma Hobby advertising campaign I believed how great this set is and I feel a bit dissatisfied here and there. It's good, but I expected much better, and certainly not such imperfections when fitting the windscreen.

    PS. I have sth extra for dioramas. I was made by childrens in my local modelers club.

    Hi Bernard (@lis): Have you tried the Tamiya or Eduard P-51s? Tamiya is good and a straight-forward build, Eduard probably more detailed.

    For this moment I build two Tamiya’s P-51, and one KP models. You can check it on my YT channel. Tamiya after over twenty years are still good model but only in D version. I’m B version addict. PS. Eduard has only 1:48 kit I think.

    Nice material for the diorama, Bernard @lis
    I think those children will be very proud when they see the result of their work being used for it.

    Decals came out very well, Bernard (@lis). The decals for the tail stripes must have been very difficult to get on the plane correctly. They look very good.
