About product

P-51D Mustang 1:48, Tamiya

An injection-molded plastic kit of the legendary American North American P-51D Mustang fighter in 1:48 scale from Tamiya. Tamiya ranks among the very best makers of plastic models, and this kit is marked by the exact fit of its parts, a finely engraved surface and a friendly build. The box holds the plastic sprues and decals.

The real subject

The P-51D Mustang was a single-seat American fighter aircraft of the Second World War, powered by a liquid-cooled Packard V12 engine, the licensed version of the British Rolls-Royce Merlin. It was that engine that turned the Mustang into an outstanding long-range escort fighter, able to protect the Allied bombers on their way deep over Germany and back. The D version received the characteristic teardrop canopy with its excellent all-round view and a heavier machine gun armament. The Mustang became one of the most successful and best-known fighters of its day.

Building and painting tips

Paint and assemble the cockpit before you close the fuselage up. Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with thin liquid cement for plastic, and mask the canopy glazing before spraying. Many Mustangs flew in bare polished metal; for a convincing look, lay down a smooth gloss surface and use a metalizer or a technique that imitates polished metal (NMM). Stir the metalizer thoroughly before spraying, apply it to a smooth surface and leave it to the very end, because it is harder to overspray and to mask. Fit the drop tanks last.
