I am working on P 51l from Betexa:
Mustant P 51
Scale 1:32
Betexa publishing
General impression is very positive. The kit is printed on thick, glossy paper with very vivid colors and detaliing.
This is my first model from Betexa and the reason I wanted to try it was that the fuselauge of the plane is printed as one part. There are no formers either.
I thought this to be a somewhat challenge to see what is accutally goting to turn out from this....
I must admit that I underestimated my confidence and ened up with a lot white spaces between the parts that I had to paint over.
I also did not understnd the assembly of tail unitil it was tool late. More on it later.
Since this model had no formers, I printed a couple from Halinki P 51 and used them instead. I used one in tail secion and nose.
The bottom line is that P 51 is a great model, however, you must be careful in your chice of glue, I tried Willcoll and it was just a nighmare. The paper is so thick it would not absorb the glue. I ended up using a Russian made Moment. It is a rubbery glue that is used for general purposes.
