About product

Aires P-51D Mustang cockpit set 1:48

A resin detail set from Aires in 1:48 scale made to improve the cockpit of the plastic kit of the North American P-51D Mustang. The set replaces the original kit interior with finely cast cockpit parts carrying rich relief on the instrument panel, the side consoles and the seat. It is not an airplane model but an accessory for a kit.

The real subject

The P-51D Mustang was an American single-seat fighter of the Second World War and one of the most successful fighters of its time. The D version was powered by a license-built Packard V-1650 (Rolls-Royce Merlin) engine and was recognizable by its all-round bubble canopy and cut-down rear fuselage, which gave an excellent view. Its long range let it escort bombers deep over Germany.

Fitting and painting

First wash the parts to remove any mold release agent and separate them carefully from the casting blocks. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate), and resin should be sanded with your airways protected. Check the fit before the fuselage is closed. The interior is brought out with a shaded cockpit color, a dry brush on the edges and a wash into the recesses.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building the P-51D who want a more accurate cockpit
  • more experienced builders with experience in resin
  • collectors of American Second World War fighters
  • anyone interested in detail beyond what the kit offers

This is a resin accessory for a kit, not a model in its own right. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
