About product

North American P-51B Mustang (1:48, Tamiya)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American North American P-51B Mustang fighter in 1:48 scale from Tamiya. It is a quality mold with fine engraved surface detail and an accurate build; the model captures the early B version with the fuselage spine running to a point (the so-called razorback). The exact contents of the box and the number of decal schemes differ from one boxing to another.

The real subject

The P-51 Mustang was an American fighter of the Second World War which, thanks to its liquid-cooled engine and long range, became famous as the escort fighter of the bombers over Europe. The P-51B version differed from the later and better known D version above all in the shape of the rear fuselage: it had a full spine running to a point and a framed canopy instead of a bubble canopy. It was one of the first variants with the powerful license-built engine that gave the Mustang its famous flying qualities.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with a thin plastic cement, fill the seams and sand them down. Paint the cockpit interior and bring out its detail before you close the fuselage, and glue the glazing with a canopy glue. After the gloss clear coat and the decals, bring out the panel lines with a wash; complete the polished metal as well as the camouflaged surfaces with fine wear applied with an airbrush.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American fighters of the Second World War
  • Modelers with experience of building in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in the early razorback versions of the Mustang

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