Scale Aviation Modeller International — February 2018

MENG explained this further

on their Facebook page:

“During our discussions with

modellers, MENG’s team has

discovered that many modellers are

discouraged about aircraft subjects.

We have heard the complaints like

“more sanding work than AFVs” and

“too many colours to paint” about

building aircraft models. How can

we improve the build experience and

also replicate the excellent details at

the same time? The LS-006 North

American P-51D Mustang Fighter kit

is our first try. We applied a different

design concept than other 1/48 scale

aircraft models. For many beginners,

they can build this kit without glue.

We don’t forget the senior modellers

who are used to using glue. After

gluing and painting of this kit, they

will find a detailed Mustang model.”

THE KIT

There is a lot of detail in this kit.

Some of the details even rival that

supplied in Tamiya’s larger scale

kit. However, rivets are dominant

“THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL

MENG PUT INTO THE MODEL IS

EXCEPTIONAL FOR THE SCALE”
