About product

North American Mustang Mk.IV – the British fighter designation, 1:48

This injection-molded plastic kit in 1:48 scale captures the North American Mustang fighter in the Mk.IV version. Mustang Mk.IV is the British RAF service designation of the late, Merlin-powered version of the famous American Mustang fighter, which the Royal Air Force operated in the Second World War. The mark of this generation is the cut-down rear fuselage and the teardrop, or bubble, canopy, which gave the pilot all-round vision.

The real subject

The Mustang was originally developed by an American manufacturer for the Royal Air Force, and after being re-engined with the Rolls-Royce Merlin, built under license by Packard, it became one of the best long-range escort fighters of the war. The RAF operated Mustangs under its own name, and the late version with the bubble canopy carried the Mk.IV series designation in British service; this name corresponds to the late American P-51D version, related to the machines from Dallas production, which the RAF listed as Mk.IVa. The aircraft excelled in range, speed and firepower.

Building and painting tips

This is an injection-molded plastic kit, so use thin modeling cement for plastic on the joints. Glue the clear bubble canopy with a canopy glue that does not cloud the plastic, and mask it while spraying. Finish the cockpit and the landing gear before closing the fuselage. Apply a primer before the airbrush work; for a faithful metal appearance polished metal shades, a gloss coat under the decals and a fine wash of the panel lines work well.
