WTB...Revell 1/32nd P-51B

You do know that this is one of the most inaccurate P-51B kits ever foisted upon the modeling public, don't you?

But it is the only 1/32 kit. And man what what I wouldn't give for a new tool B. Or one in 1/24. We have 3 Ds in 1/24 Bandai, Airfix/Heller and Trumpeter. How's about a B someone? Or an A?

Jerry Rutman makes a resin kit of the B in 1/32. Check

ISTR that he's ceased production. Anyone know if that's true, and if so is there any remaining stock?

I'd sooner attempt a conversion of Hasegawa's D than try to do something with Revell's B. And that's a *major* conversion....

A good B is long overdue in 1/32. Maybe Trumpeter could do it, do it right, and make up for their funny-looking 1/24 scale D....

And we're *still* looking for an accurate state-of-the-art D in

How about Tamiya doing them in 1/72? Or at least Academy fixing the rear view windows in their B kit? ;)

Hi Al,

Jerry did announce that he was closing down but is now back in business

-- a *very* good thing for 1/32-scale guys like me. His current website is at

Some good news for a change! :)

I know we're talking 1/32 scale here but how many of you remember the Revell P-51D in 1/72 scale? That's my vote for "most inaccurate.

Yeah, that was a bad move on their part, doing another D when they could have done a B.

Cheers,

Keeper (of too much crap)
