Hi Wiggus,

I recently completed the old (1974!) Crown 1/144 scale P-51D -


The Platz P-51D arrived in the mail just as I was finishing it... I liked the old Crown kit well enough, but the Platz Mustang is SUPERIOR IN EVERY RESPECT!

Thanks for this review - I wish I'd seen it before taking on the now-obsolete Crown version!

Hi Wiggus,

That is a beautiful little Mustang! I am very impressed with Platz's molding and detail. From the models I've seen, the finish of the plastic should afford a beautiful NMF.

Tim, your lil' Crown is a jewel all the same.

Hi Tim, Sorry for the delay. I didn't get a notification that you had posted. That 'Stang looks great. I would have never guessed it was from a kit that old. Great work.

I've started on the Platz kit, more to see how it fits than anything else, and so far it is amazing.
