The MB 5 is just over 5 ft. longer than the P51 but its wing span is 2 ft. shorter. The fuselage of the MB 5, however, is far more bulky so it cefrtiny giuves the impression of looking bigger.

The tiny pilot underlines what a big bird this was. What a pity it never entered service. Splendid work, Vac.

This is great Vacant! I admire your work immensely. I seem to recall (I may be wrong) that AZ Models do an IM kit of this plane for us mere mortals.
