About product

North American P-51H Mustang 1:72 (RS Models)

Injection-molded plastic model of the American North American P-51H Mustang fighter in 1:72 scale from the Czech brand RS Models. It is a short-run kit with finely engraved surfaces and clear cockpit parts; some releases add small resin details and decals for several US Air Force finishes. The P-51H was the lightened and fastest production version of the famous Mustang.

The real subject

The P-51H was the last large-scale production version of the Mustang, substantially lightened and aerodynamically refined compared with the better-known P-51D. It was powered by the Packard V-1650, the license-built Rolls-Royce Merlin, and was among the fastest piston fighters of its day. It saw practically no combat in the Second World War; it served in the postwar years, among other places with Air National Guard (ANG) units.

Building and painting tips

As with most short-run kits, dry-fit the parts first, clean up the sprue gates and adjust the joints - the molds have no locating pins. Glue the plastic with thin modeling cement for plastic, and wash any resin parts to remove the mold release agent, separate them from the casting blocks and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). The natural metal finish of the Mustang rewards a good smooth base and metallic shades applied with an airbrush.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American fighters in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone interested in the lightened and fastest version of the Mustang
  • More experienced builders who get on with short-run kits
  • Fans of a natural metal finish

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

FAQ

It was substantially lightened and aerodynamically refined and was among the fastest piston fighters; it saw practically no combat in the Second World War.

Some RS Models releases add small resin details; the exact contents differ from boxing to boxing.

Because of its short-run nature (no locating pins, joints that need adjusting) it is better suited to more experienced modelers.
