About product

F-51D Mustang 1:72 (Tamiya)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the legendary North American F-51D Mustang fighter in 1:72 scale from the War Bird Collection line of the Japanese manufacturer Tamiya. The set captures the machine in the form used after the Second World War, when the Mustang carried the postwar designation F-51D. The model is valued for its accurate shapes and cleanly executed parts.

The real subject

The P-51D, redesignated F-51D after the reorganization of the US Air Force, was the most widespread version of the Mustang, with its characteristic bubble canopy. After the Second World War a number of these machines returned to service, among other places in the opening phase of the Korean War, where they mainly carried out ground-attack and strike duties.

Building and painting tips

Tamiya parts fit very accurately, and liquid cement for plastic is all the build needs. Spray the surfaces with a gloss clear coat before applying the decals. For the metal look of the airframe an airbrush and metallic shades work well; fine-tune the drop tanks and the armament according to the markings you choose.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American fighters of the Second World War and the Korean era
  • Beginners and advanced builders alike, thanks to the friendly Tamiya fit
  • Lovers of 1:72 scale
  • Fans of the Mustang

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

FAQ

The kit is in 1:72 scale.

It is the same aircraft. The Mustang carried the designation F-51D after the independent US Air Force was formed and fighters were marked with the letter F instead of the earlier P.

Yes, Tamiya parts fit very accurately, so the build is friendly even to less experienced modelers.
