Intriguing
That is probably the best word to describe the new Meng Models Mustang kit which has all the usual moulding finesse of the rest of the
Meng range but this is the first kit to feature what is described as a fast cement-free assembly design. Usually this kind of press together
assembly is sneered at by the serious modeller as it means simplification and an almost inevitable loss of detail. When you examine the
sprues for this new Mustang there appears to be no shortage of detail in key areas like the cockpit and the exterior surface detail is
excellent. By the way the kit has been designed with optional propellers, a choice of exhaust, and separate fuselage spine all point to
other possible future Mustang releases? The kit offers a choice of two droptank styles or 100lb bombs for the underwing racks and a
choice of open or closed main wheel doors. The tailwheel however is only in the open position so this will need to be adapted for an in-
flight configuration. It is a kit that promises much combining fast assembly without apparently compromising on detail but will it persuade
me to put my trusty bottle of Mr Cement S aside?
