1/48 Hasegawa P-51 Mustang

Built two Mustangs together.  This Hasegawa and a Tamiya.  Each has advantages over the other and things the competition wins with.  The Hasegawa has the better cockpit by far.  It also has better landing gear complete with the little "U" that joins the landing gear door to the much sturdier landing gear leg.

The decals are still available from Leading Edge and excellent decals at that. Leading Edge gives several options on this East coast sheet that also comes with stencils for 4 airframes.  An excellent decal deal.

The plane modeled is from 420 Aux squadron out of London Ontario.  Included in this shot is my other 1/48 Mustangs.
