Revell P51D Mustang weekend build

[Pantherman]

Thought I would have a little fun with a quick build 1/72 over the weekend while waiting for a new bike kit to arrive.

Loads of flash and poor fitting joints so alot of making good to do. I'm weirdly looking forward to it..... Pantherman

And it a absolutely perfect fit wings to fuselage........ if you have your eyes shut and in another room !!!!! These have got to be some of the biggest gaps on a build that I have seen. Pantherman

I find the same with Revell, all though never that bad!
Due to the poor fitting I've been sticking with Tamiya and Eduard.
I don't mind a little putty work but when there's more putty than plastic I draw the line.......lol

Wow! How are you going to fill those gaps? I have not seen gaps that bad until now.

Wow that gap is huge, are you sure the dihedral angle is proper...maybe try lifting the wing tips up to close the gap...? just guessing

Good suggestion, I will bend it a bit and tape it in place so hopefully when the putty sets it will hold. Pantherman
