ICM P-51D 1/48
« on: March 02, 2020, 10:31:09 AM »
I started this last weekend actually and have made pretty good progress on the kit so far . This is a copy of the Tamiya kit with a few changes made , decals are crap and will be replaced with ones coming for the spare box . The makings are also aftermarket . This is pretty much out of the box except for the seat which came from the junk pile . So far this is where I'm at with the build .

Interested to see the wing to fuselage fit etc. I know its a close copy of the Tam kit but those early ICM kits I found waaaay over engineered. It does look good so far though!

I'm looking forward to that part as well Steve mating the lower wing to fuselage . There was fit issues with the wings and there is still a bit of clean up but at least the wheel well part fitted nicely !

Really can't comment on their earlier kits for I only built one other . Revell's re-boxing of ICM P-51B which is a copy of Tamiya's kit with Accurate Miniatures cockpit . Fit of that kit wasn't good at all . Sadly I do have another one in the stash waiting to be built . But I have spare Tamiya pit for that one  ;)

Thanks Ken for checking her out  :)

Thanks for catching up on the build Rick , nice to have you tag along  :) Yes so far the build is going pretty good and quick , but I have some filling and sanding to do , over all not bad for the amount which I was expecting the worse .

Made some more progress and the fuselage is glued up and the wing as well . Over fit so far isn't all the bad . Started with a bit of light sanding , still more sanding ....
