Agreed, I've built a few Eduard kits and whilst nice, have always found them a bit over engineered. Why use 1 piece when you can use ten!

For a few years ago, back in 2022 I was doing a duo-bild, Airfix Mustang and Eduards Mustang more or a less at the same time.

Airfix Mustang was finished but Eduards Mustang... well, it's still here, in the box

And here I thought that the Eduard Mustang kits were supposed to be the cat’s meow…

Emperor's new cloths syndrome I think Carlos. They're good kits, but blooming fiddly.

Yes they are.

Ok...sadly I'm calling this one toast. Sanded as much as I could but the gaps remained. Plus, I've lost a bit of panel details in the wheel wells. Putting this dual build away for now until I find a decent P-51 Mustang - either Tamiya or Hasegawa kit. Maybe I should have gotten the Weekend Edition instead. Oh well... no use crying over spilt milk.



The plus side is I plan on saving the good bits to use on the other Mustang kit whichever I end up getting.

I’ll try to salvage and repurpose whatever is useful from Eduard kit to the Tamiya kit. Propeller, struts, wheels, wing tanks, etc… anything can act as a replacement part should something get lost, misplaced, or looks like a better substitution due to enhance the details.
