The P-51 with "silver colour plating" strikes me as an odd release. One swipe with a sanding stick and thats the finish done for, and I would imagine that the first thing most modellers would do is to strip all the silver plating off. Be interesting to see how much interest there is in it. ( No doubt there'll be a million and one posts on a certain modelling site when word gets out) Nige

Maybe they have moved the joins to panel lines like on the original? Or maybe they supply some bare metal foil cut especially to cover the seams? That would be a way around the seam issue.
