About product

North American P-51B Mustang (1:32, Trumpeter)

A large injection-molded plastic kit of the American fighter North American P-51B Mustang in 1:32 scale from Trumpeter. The model represents the early production B version with its rearward-glazed cockpit and full fuselage spine, the so-called razorback. The large scale brings a richly detailed surface and a detailed cockpit and engine. Check the exact package contents and the decals against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The key change that turned the Mustang into a first-class fighter was the installation of the British Rolls-Royce Merlin engine built under license by Packard (the V-1650). The P-51B was one of the first versions to bring that combination, and it gained high performance at altitude. Thanks to its long range with drop tanks, the Mustang escorted bomber formations deep over enemy territory. The early versions still had the full spine behind the cockpit and were armed with four heavy machine guns in the wings.

Building and painting tips

In the large 1:32 scale, paint and pick out the cockpit and the engine first, and close the fuselage and the cowling panels only after that. Glue the canopy glazing with canopy glue and protect it with masks. Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic. Apply a gloss clear coat before the decals and pick out the panel lines with a wash. Fit the drop tanks and any external stores only after painting. A natural metal finish calls for a smooth base and a thoroughly stirred metallic paint, and the bold invasion stripes are best sprayed over masks.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American fighter aircraft of the Second World War
  • Modelers who appreciate the large 1:32 scale and rich detail
  • Anyone interested in the early Mustang versions with the full fuselage spine

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