I bought this kit and liked what I saw when I opened the box including the high level of  detail and quality of design.  The assembly of my P_51 was without problems and Fast and simple.

As the kit is good and deserved a special attention, I spenttime getting the details correct.  I found that it was good, as I always used car ink.

After the painting I applied a layer with shining varnish and later I applied the decals.

After the decals I created a shading effect on the different panels with ink the oil raw to umber, after applied the ink to the airplane, I waited 30 minutes before removing the excess ink with a cotton cloth, added to the overall look of my model.
