1:32 P-51B "Shangri-La" Mustang Don Gentile **Pictures**

If i was ever going to get a 1:32 P-51B Mustang from 21st Century Toys "Shangri-La" was going to be it.
They did a outstanding job with this P-51B mold. This new P-51B mold is way better then the old P-51D mold
that had the titanic rivets..The only flaw i see in this P-51B is that it did not have the Pitot tube or Antenna for some reason
but that was no problem for me because i have a few of the old Revell 1:32 P-51B kits in the attic.
So i did a custom job on mine by adding the Pitot tube and Antenna along with a metal wire for the cable.
They also added a open or closed type canopy for your P-51B.
One thing i want to point out is this 1:32 P-51B is a tight fit perfect no gaps in mine at all..Unlike the 1:48 P-51B that they made
while back where you had a gap running by the wing area...not on this 1:32 it's perfect. This P-51B sits nicely with the other Corgi
1:32 i have in my collection.
I snapped a few pictures for you guys...
Enjoy the pictures.

Awesome looking "Shangri-La" P-51B pictures, JP! Even the fighter pilot figure is a work of art.

I will have to hunt for this one now. Are these showing up at Wally's World yet???

I got mine today from TRU. Thanks guys.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Good for you...It didn't take long to get them there about 2 weeks..Now you can put her with the other 1:32's you have in your
collection of fighter planes.
Over here the Bull Frog P-51B are showing up at wally world now too.....First time i have seen them here at this store.
