Tamiya 61042 N.American P-51B Mustang
The North American P-51B Mustang 1/48 scale model by Tamiya is an early version of the legendary WWII American fighter aircraft. With its powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and long range, the P-51B was crucial for escorting Allied bombers over Europe. The kit includes detailed plastic parts, a realistic cockpit and decals for historically significant machines. Package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
The North American P-51B Mustang was the first production version of the Mustang to be equipped with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which greatly improved the aircraft's high-altitude performance. Previous Allison-powered versions had suffered from reduced efficiency above 4,500 feet, but the Merlin made the Mustang one of the best fighters of World War II.
The P-51B was designed as a long-term escort fighter capable of protecting bombers during raids over occupied Europe. Its aerodynamic design and long range allowed it to operate deep over enemy territory. Armament consisted of four 12.7 mm Browning machine guns, and some machines were fitted with overhead auxiliary tanks for even greater range.
The Tamiya 1/48 P-51B Mustang kit features precision-machined plastic parts, a detailed cockpit with controls, and the ability to build the model with different armament configurations. The model includes authentic decals for several historical units, including those that participated in the Normandy invasion.
The high level of detail and historical accuracy make this model ideal for modelers interested in American WWII fighter aircraft.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
