Building my 1/32 Hasegawa P-51D Mustang, I had a revelation when building the landing gear wheels. Now I will admit that I had had a martini before I recorded this, which perhaps explains why I was so exuberant about it. But the fact stands - why could Hasegawa do this in the 1960s and yet modern kits don't get this right?
