I noticed you've put the star and bar on the underside of the starboard wing with two of the star points facing forwards. The star should have a single point facing forward as you've done on the top wing. The saying 'don't throw stones in glass houses' comes to mind. The blemishes and sink marks could have been filled and details re-scribed if you had taken the time to do this. Your video looked 'rushed'. I do agree with your comment about the canopy.

Not teribble kit.I made Me-262 with no issues expecting to do the same with P-51. Your kit still ended up looking amazing. Good job!

Considering the bad tooling you made the end result into another great looking P51. I built the airfix 1/48 P51 went together like a dream and my first kit returning to the hobby 👍

Oh no, this is my next kit, I bought it and many others before I discovered scalemates, the old revell p38 was my last kit and I have to say revell are on my don't bother list. Kinda new to scale modeling and I have learned a lot this past year, ebay sellers are very underhand from kit swapping (putting older kits in newer boxes) although this is the industry standard, also decal sheets and canopies missing. Before I just ordered the kit and put it away unopened for months then only later to discover the problem, now any kit I buy is well researched and scrutinized when delivered. You did a great job on this one so there is still hope.

I've worked in this same kit. I reallly had problems with those white and black decalls, I decided to remove the decalls and paint it (remove it was a hell). Parts and building worked well with me.

Sorry You had a bad experience with that Mustang, Mine went together really good. I think Yours looks amazing. Thanx for sharing.

I am curious about this kit. I remember Revell had a 1:72nd P-51D that you could get in the two kits box set and I think it was shipped with a Ki-84 Hayate. But I dont remember Revell selling a 1:72 P-51B which made me wonder if this is the old Monogram 1:72nd kit that Revell could have acquired when they bought Monogram. But I dont remember the Monogram 1:72 P-51B having issues.

Hiya YM, i don't know how you managed it but you made a silk purse out of a sows ear, well done 🐦.

Try Revells 1/32 P-51 D Mustang, it's a great kit!

Interesting build and review on this .

That soft, silver polystyrene always gave me nightmares back in the day!

I have built that kit and i agree really not good i still have the me 262 to build so will look forward to that after i watch your build lol

Nah then! Are you from Donny by any chance? I grew up in Retford. Your accent sounds very close to mine. Anyhoo, I got this single P51B in a box of kits from M4H and I have just started the build.. I struggeld to get the cockpit assembly into the fuselage halfs, had to shave away quite abit of plastic from both sides of the instrument panel and bulk head to get it to sit so the upper fuselage sections around the front of the cockpit would join up. Then when I forced her together using clamps there was a strange 5mm gap in the forward section of the fuselage around the rear wheel well, which I will have to fill with some styrene. Thats as far as I have got at the mo, literally started the build whilst watching.. Im assuming that the kit is the same mould as this one and yet I dont have the flaws in the wings as you did, but still different issues that you didn't seem to have with your build.. Maybe this was the mould that was done by the guy who has been there ages and is literally part of the furniture, but comes to work overly aftershaved and with a little red eye going on. Drinks from a bottle of orange all day long whilst popping out his pressed kits from the machines...

Well, not too bad-- I think you did a fine job

This appears to be a re box of Acadamy's kit. I built one and found serious accuracy issues. The plan form is wrong. The chord is too long at the wing root. Actually not too difficult to correct. The airfoil section is quite inaccurate and is impossible to correct. The rest of it could be a lot worse. It could be a lot better too. Arma Hobby's P-51B makes this look like garbage. Still I do have my Acadamy on display. When I build my Arma though,,,,,,,,

Check out the Revell Messerschmitt Bf109G (I think). It's a kit from ancient tooling, which practically needs carving out of the flash. I'm very wary of Revell kits as a result. However, I can recommend the Airfix Dogfight Doubles with the ME262 and Mustang P51 D.

You have my admiration for finishing such a horrible kit. Probably I will be able to throw it into the bin during the building process. 😅

I wonder does Revell/Monogram USA and Revell Germany still design new tool or just re-release their old tool. Their 1:72 Bf109G-10/ta-152 is a good topic with terrible kit inside box

I've built a few of the Revell P51B kits and I've only had issues with the wing light which is an easy fix and the rear part of the canopy which was an easy fix. As for the decals, I don't think I've ever has problems with Revell decals. If you think that kit is bad try build they're P51D, it's not even buildible, I just bought one for the decal sheet.

I've just binned the Me version from this kit having made the P51 over a year ago with mediocre results. The ME problems were partly my fault but much exaggerated by some pseudo Vallejo paints labelled Roots bought on Ebay. They were like those paints gi ven to kids in kindergarten.

Maybe use it in a crash diorama... 😉

you've gotten so much more popular remember me?!

Hey buddy honest and frank video - tbh my first build back at the hobby was Revell 1/48 Spitfire - nightmare- the 262 you done was wonderful

Not bad... hm except USAF mark on right wing. Is glued backward!!!!!

If u think this is bad, obviously u didn t did P51 D 1/72 from Revell also

to be fair, they're as terrible as cheap, I'd be more pissed at Italeri that makes revell quality products with the same price as a tamiya one

Highly experienced modelers can handle building worst model kits of Revell , terrible parts , more but buy better parts from hobby store till perfect 1/72 scale model aircrafts I like Revell model kits but I had experienced already but I’m hobbyist as learning about experienced modelers teach you while watching iPad about how build better model aircrafts , ships , NASA kits , more . Many model kits of corporations aren’t perfect like Revell but modelers don’t care about it , still buy them and build them till perfect displays for model show events , modelers as less experienced or much experienced , pro themselves still won awards for terrible model kits to perfect model aircrafts , ships , NASA , more . I was less experience hobbyist as little boy to young teenager myself becoming little experienced hobbyist . I’ll retirement on December 15th , I’ll spend my time build model kits , artist work , I will learn use air brush with air pump powered electric motor for art work and build model kits , woodcrafts . I buy more hobby tools , improve air brushes , improve model parts for model kits as 1/72 scale to up . Cheap to very expensive cost of model kits . I remember my Revell 3 feet tall Saturn V rocket without paint as my brother and myself were teenagers build it but I noticed yellow line due too much glue cause it on unpainted Saturn V rocket display till stupid kitten push Saturn V rocket display fell down from dresser to floor , destroyed . I grabbed my shoe and threw it to kitten but too late for me watched my shoe smashed couple of unpainted model displays into pieces as bad luck accident happened due myself was careless as my mistake while kitten escaped from my bedroom . I still love kitten grow beautiful cat alway sleep with me during nighttime till morning then cat attempted wake me up but few months later , my loved cat died due disease caused it lead cat lovers are complaining about lose their loved cats till animal veterinarian developed improved vaccine cure / destroy virus infection , saved cats’s life . I’ll buy display case stand protection model displays inside as door closed keep cats away from display case because their wife love cats give husbands as hobbyists had headache . Use water spray are helpful give kitten to cat sacred as fled away . Water spray were better than throw shoe . Use glass display case stand protection your prized model displays from kitten to cats even little children because small plastic parts can break into pieces are harmful to little children and pets . Worst model kits become perfect model displays . Some modelers had gave up then worst model as unfinished gone into waste basket or recycling basket wasted money on useless model kits as failures till failed modelers learn their mistakes till successful modelers can make worst model kits into perfect displays as successful . Learn about experienced modelers show build model kits to you watching on your iPad because I been watching build better model kits into beautiful model displays could win award at model show events . I want go to model show events . I’ll look post on wall at hobby stores as I visit , buy some model kits , hobby tools and paints ,more .

Revell seem to make bad kits so they can sell them cheaper............ Revell kits tend to be for those that want to heavily modify parts and or details, that seems to be all they are really good for

If you think that kit is bad you would be horrified by their old 1/32 scale P-51B Mustang

Hmmmm a good modeller could have overcome most of these problems with a bit of patience and time. Yes not a good kit but nothing that could be fixed.
