Trumpeter 1/24th Scale Mustang Model Kit

When a person coined this kit "The cadillac of Mustang kits" he was right on the money in my book. When I first heard about this kit and its features I was very excited because now a company was going to come out with a Mustang to rival that of the Airfix Mustang which in my book is a bad kit that needs a complete overhaul. Then I heard about the price. And I was saying to myself that this kit better be worth the $100.00 price tag and you know what? It was and then some. I got it from Roll Modeles the other day and when I opened the box I was stunned at what I saw. The detail, accuracy, you name it this kit has it. It's about as close to a real Mustang as you can get unless you have the money to buy a real one. The only thing that made me mad was that you didnt get a better selection of decals which I took care of by contacting Mike Grant who speacializes in making aircraft decals. I'm getting new set from him with the markings of George Preddy's "Cripes A Mighty 3". As everyone should know Preddy was the top ace with the 352nd Fighter Group better known as the Blue Nosers Of Bodney. As with a kit of this size you can add alot of your own features which I plan on doing but Trumpeter has come out with a classic kit of a classic and well known thorobred fighter which IN MY OPINION was the best damn fighter plane of World War 2. I just wonder what else Trumpeter has in store for us modele builders, maybe a German FW 190 IN 1/24th scale? That would be a nice touch so I can have my P-51 blasting it out of the sky as was the case so many time's in the ETO. If you love the Mustang then buy Trumpeters kit, you wont be sorry because it's an awsome beauty.
