About product

North American P-51D Mustang 1:32 - Tamiya

A sizable injection-molded plastic kit of the legendary American North American P-51D Mustang fighter in the premium 1:32 scale from the Japanese company Tamiya. It is a large, superbly executed kit: it offers a finely rendered Packard Merlin V-1650 engine under removable cowlings, parts for the early and the late configuration (two rear-fuselage variants, with and without the dorsal fin, and three canopy types), movable control surfaces and photo-etched parts. A stand for displaying the aircraft in flight is also enclosed.

The real subject

The P-51D Mustang was an American single-seat fighter of the Second World War and one of the most successful fighters of its day. The iconic bubble canopy gave the pilot all-round vision. Thanks to the license-built Packard Merlin engine and its great range (especially with drop tanks) the Mustang could escort heavy bombers on long-range raids deep over enemy territory. Its high speed, ceiling and range made it a legend of the closing part of the war and of the postwar years.

Building and painting tips

A large, detailed kit rewards care. Assemble and paint the engine and the cockpit before you close the fuselage and fit the cowlings. Bond the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and the plastic with liquid cement for plastic. A number of Mustangs flew in a natural metal finish, so count on a glossy metal surface: apply a smooth gloss black base and use metallic paint or imitate the metal with paint. Mix the metallic paint thoroughly (the pigment sinks to the bottom) and apply it on a smooth base at the very end, because it is harder to overspray and to mask. Protect the glazing with masks.

Who the model is for

  • For lovers of American Second World War fighters and of long-range escort missions
  • For more experienced modelers who want to try metallic paint on a large kit
  • For collectors of showpiece models in 1:32 scale

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