Mini-Review

Tamiya’s 1/48 P-51B was the first kit I built on my return to modeling, and now two years later, it’s just as good as it was then. It’s a simple kit, stretching across two whole sprues, but it’s extremely well detailed and engineered. Everything looks great and everything…just…fits. Overall, the Tamiya -B is one of my favorite kits, period, and I know I’ll be building more of them in the future.
