Just had this dropped off. Just goes to show you need to know what you're buying. Apparently it's a 1/32 RB-51. Can you spot the obvious errors???
The box art..

Photo of the built model....and it looks wrong for a bog standard P-51!

Oh well, never let it be said I don't enjoy a challenge!

Also, we don't need no steenkin' VLATs!

After what seemed like relentless pressure and taunting by RB Paul, I succumbed and purchased the 1/32 Civilized Models BD-5 kit. Looks good in the images and I'll do a kit report once I get my hands on it.

Not a Civil plane or an Airliner, but this just arrived about 15 mins ago.

I spotted that kit too for sale, but decided against it because of the box art.
