About product

1:32 P-51B Mustang — plastic model kit by Eduard

A kit of the P-51B Mustang fighter in the large 1:32 scale. The manufacturer is Eduard, a Czech company from Obrnice near Most. The exact make-up of the particular box, meaning the edition, any photo-etched parts, masks and the number of marking options, is given on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions. This is a complete aircraft kit, not an add-on set of masks or decals offered under a similar name.

The real subject

The P-51B was the first version of the Mustang with the Merlin engine, which was built under license by Packard. A two-stage supercharger pushed the aircraft's performance up to high altitudes and, together with the laminar-flow wing and the long range, turned it into an escort fighter. You can tell the B version by the smooth spine running from the canopy into the fuselage; the teardrop canopy came only with the later versions. Some machines received a bulged canopy in service that improved the view from the cockpit.

Building and painting tips

The 1:32 scale forgives less than smaller models. The fuselage and leading edge seams call for careful sanding and polishing, and on long seams it pays to glue with a thin plastic cement in short sections and let them dry thoroughly. The cockpit is clearly visible at this scale, so shading and picking out the details is worth the effort. Apply a primer before painting, spray metallic and silver surfaces in thin coats over a smooth base, and prepare a gloss coat under the decals.

Who the model is for

  • modelers who want a large, easily readable model of a fighter aircraft
  • collectors of Second World War aircraft in 1:32 scale
  • more experienced builders who do not mind large areas and demanding surface preparation
  • anyone interested in American fighters with the Merlin engine

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

FAQ

No. It is a classic plastic model kit that is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

The edition and the contents of the box, meaning the number of parts, the marking options and any photo-etched parts or masks, are given on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions.

The B version has a spine running from the canopy into the fuselage, while the D version received a teardrop canopy and a cut-down rear fuselage. The armament and the wing details differ as well, so the parts of the two versions are not interchangeable.

The large scale makes the parts easier to handle, but it also places higher demands on surface preparation and on painting large areas evenly. For a very first model a simpler kit in a smaller scale is the better choice.
