About product

The F-51 Mustang in the Korean War 1:48, part 1 — decal sheet (wet decals)

The first part of the decal series devoted to the Mustangs deployed in the Korean War, in 1:48 scale. The water-slide decals make it possible to build a machine from a less frequented and all the more interesting period in the service of the famous type, from the days when a piston-engined fighter was seeing out its career alongside jets.

The real subject

After the Second World War the P-51 Mustang was redesignated F-51. When war broke out in Korea in 1950, the available Mustangs returned quickly to the front line, no longer as fighters for air combat but above all as ground-attack machines. From Korean bases they made attacks with rockets, napalm and their guns against ground targets, often in difficult terrain and weather. Alongside the US Air Force, other United Nations states deployed them as well; it was hard service and dangerous for the crews, because the radiator of the liquid-cooled engine was vulnerable to ground fire.

Application tips

Korean Mustangs flew predominantly in natural metal, so polish the base and coat it with gloss, on which the decals will adhere perfectly. Press the water out completely so that no matte patches appear on the metal surface. Once dry, only a fine semi-matte coat is appropriate; the metal machines from Korea tended to be dirtied by gun gases, which calls for discreet weathering.

Who the sheet is for

  • Builders of Mustangs in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers drawn to the Korean War of 1950 to 1953
  • Collectors who want a Mustang in a role other than that of the Second World War
  • Fans of machines in natural metal

The decal sheet is a stand-alone accessory; the kit is not included in the package.

FAQ

After the war the US Air Force changed its designations, from P for pursuit to F for fighter. It is the same Mustang, deployed in Korea mainly on ground-attack duties.

The sheet is the first part of the series devoted to the Mustangs of the Korean War; the individual schemes are not stated here.

Coat the metal finish with gloss varnish, settle the decal with a softener and press the water out completely. A fine semi-matte coat finishes the job.

In shape mostly yes, but Korean machines tended to have specific equipment; check the particular scheme against the drawings and photographs.
