Recently the modelling world was divided – Up until last year the best 1/32 scale Mustang had been solely in the realm of Tamiya – but Zoukei-Mura
have stepped up to the challenge with maybe an even more detailed and complete kit with their P-51D offering. Since then there has been not much said or shown of this kit - but Valiant Wings now
offer the complete guide book to making this plane just like a professional – and we
look at this new book in our review today.

MiniArt on the slide? - Not according to this - a new take and an improvement in quality from the Ukraine.
It seems MiniArt are on the improve - from their beginnings
of kits that “needed some work” to their latest kit they have announced as an
example. OK this kit features their fave subject – Soviet Infantry – but the
features of this kit rival anything that Dragon and Tamiya are producing now-days – and in
some ways bests them both. Let’s look at the set in our preview to see why..
