Historical Significance and Modeling Appeal

The North American P-51D Mustang played a crucial role during World War II, renowned for its performance and versatility. Tamiya captures this historical essence with meticulous attention to detail, from the accurately molded fuselage to the inclusion of photo-etched parts for seat harnesses and the oil cooler. The model offers four marking options, including a new scheme representing Major Richard Peterson's aircraft from the 364th Fighter Squadron, providing builders with diverse customization possibilities.

Realism in Scale and Detail

This model kit features movable control surfaces such as ailerons, flaps, elevators, and rudder, allowing hobbyists to create dynamic poses. The cockpit, although not plated, is intricately detailed, offering a realistic representation of the pilot's environment. With two pilot figures included, one seated and one standing, model builders can create engaging dioramas or standalone displays.
