Border BF-015 1/35 P-51D Model Kit Unboxing Review

Summary：The surface details of this Border P-51D Model Kit are more rich and vivid than a 1/48 Scale one. Adopting the process of full internal construction and pre coating, the color separation is relatively fine. High cost-effectiveness.

If you want to do other coatings of P-51D Model Kit, you need to perform secondary spraying on the local area.

Border's 1/35 scale P-51D Model Kit has been teased for some time, and it has finally arrived today. Let's take a look at how this kit performs.

This Mustang P-51D Model Kit is a 1/35 scale kit featuring a full interior design, with internal structures including the engine. It features recessed rivets and panel lines, with detailed colour separation applied to both the fuselage surface and the cockpit interior. Photo-etched parts and 3D-printed parts are also included.

The surface details on the fuselage are quite neat, with a stressed-skin effect replicated. The silver paint finish is applied with a fine grain.

Details of the main wings, tail wings, and ailerons. 

The machine gun barrels are hollowed out, and the colour separation on the wheel hubs and tyres is also quite refined.

Brief Summary

Pros:Border's P-51D Mustang is designed in 1/35 scale, and the surface rivets, panel lines, and stressed-skin effect are richer and more vivid than those found on traditional 1/48 scale kits. The kit features full interior detailing and pre-painted finishes, with fairly precise colour separation and neat application. It can be completed without the need for painting, making it quite beginner-friendly for those who prefer straight assembly, and it offers good value for money.

Cons:The kit provides four marking options, but if built straight out of the box, only the "Red Tails" B-6 aircraft scheme can be done. To build one of the other schemes, you will need to do some localised repainting and modifications.

Recommendation (out of 5 stars):★★★★☆
