About product

North American F-51D Mustang 1:72: Italeri

An injection-molded plastic kit of the legendary American North American F-51D Mustang fighter from the manufacturer Italeri in 1:72 scale. The designation F-51D is the postwar name for the well-known P-51D fighter after the US Air Force moved to the F (fighter) category. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted; for the exact contents of the package, go by the enclosed instructions.

The real subject

The Mustang is among the most famous fighters of all. The D version with its teardrop canopy and the V-12 Merlin engine stood out for its great range, which allowed it to escort bombers deep over enemy territory. Under the postwar designation F-51D the Mustang served on: it was deployed, for example, in the Korean War, where thanks to its toughness and its load of bombs and rockets it served well as a ground-attack machine.

Building and painting tips

First finish and spray the cockpit before you close the fuselage up. Mask the teardrop glazing and paint it separately. Glossy bare metal surfaces without camouflage call for a smooth base and metallic paint applied at the end; for the individual panels of the fuselage it pays off to shade different tones of metal. A panel wash will accentuate the engraving, and restrained traces of service will add to the fidelity of the machine.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of the legendary fighters of the Second World War and the Korean War
  • For collectors of aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • For modelers who want to try a glossy metal finish
  • For intermediate builders

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
