Recent events that have highlighted the brevity of life have also made me realize how close I’m getting to the end of it, and there’s one thing I’ve always wanted to do but haven’t accomplished yet. I have always wanted to build a GOOD scale model of a P-51D Mustang!

I have seen a number of kits for them recently on the shelf at places like Hobby Lobby or my local R/C hobby shop, but they are always too small in scale for my liking; usually 1/72, or at the largest, 1/48 scale. I want a highly detailed model of at least 1/32 scale!

If any of you model builders know of good sources for such a model, I would appreciate you letting me know. Thanks!

There are several to choose from, at Rocketfin.

If you want even bigger, they are out there, here is one.

Revell just released a new-tool kit of the Mustang in 1/32. This is an early variant, without the tailfin fillet found on most P-51's. The kit is inexpenive, but hard to come by.

If you don't mind the cost, the Tamiya kit the Orguss linked is AWESOME.

The Tamiya kit looks perfect. Thanks! I’m used to spending huge bucks on R/C flying models, so the price of this kit is quite acceptable since I want good size and very high accuracy of detail!

I'm building a Tamiya Warthog now.

I must say I'm impressed with the detail.

IIRC, Bandai made a 1/24 version. It was '70's though so it's not that great in the detail department.
