About product

P-51B Mustang Swiss Air Force 1:72 (Mistercraft)

This injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale represents the American long-range fighter North American P-51B Mustang. The box holds plastic sprues, a clear canopy part and decals for several machines, among them one in Swiss markings as well as an American scheme. Mistercraft is a Polish brand offering kits from proven older tooling.

The real subject

The P-51B is an early version of the Mustang with the British Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine (built under license by Packard) and the classic framed canopy (the razorback), without the later bubble hood. It was the Merlin that turned the Mustang into a first-class long-range escort fighter. Machines that made emergency landings in Switzerland during the war or were interned there stayed on, and after the war they served on.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic with thin cement, mask the clear canopy part and sand the seams. A number of machines were in polished metal; for that look, metallic paints applied with an airbrush over a smooth base work well, and they are best left until the end of the build.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American fighters of the Second World War
  • Anyone interested in Swiss and unusual operators of the Mustang
  • Modelers who want to practice a metallic finish
  • Builders in 1:72 scale

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

FAQ

The B version is the early Merlin-powered variant with the classic framed canopy (razorback). The bubble hood and the better view came only with the later P-51D version.

During the war machines that made emergency landings in neutral Switzerland, or were interned there, stayed in the country. Some of them then flew in Swiss service after the war as well.

Use metallic paints sprayed with an airbrush over a smooth, well-prepared base. Apply the metallics last, because they are harder to mask and to overspray.
