Hobby Boss 80242 P-51 B Mustang Replica in 1:72 Scale

This Hobby Boss 80242 P-51 B model brings a compact slice of World War II aviation to your bench. The 1:72 scale replica represents the P-51 B Mustang, an agile fighter that earned its reputation in mid war operations. The full-scale aircraft used the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built Rolls-Royce Merlin powerplant, which helped define its performance and legacy.

Detailed Assembly for Hobbyists

The kit is laid out to reward careful builders, with well-moulded parts and accurate panel lines that make alignment straightforward. Parts fit with solid precision, helping hobbyists learn techniques while producing a tidy finished model. It suits both experienced modellers and those stepping up from simpler kits.

Display and Collection Value

Completed, the Hobby Boss 80242 P-51 B makes a tidy addition to a display shelf or diorama. Its period appearance and scale accuracy give it appeal among single-subject displays or mixed WWII collections, where small-scale fighters are shown alongside larger types.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required

Time varies by skill, but expect several evenings for careful assembly and filling, longer if you add paint and weathering.
Use model-grade polystyrene cement for bonds and acrylic or enamel hobby paints for finishes. Thin coats and primer give the best results.
No major modifications are required; cleaning mold lines, filling seams and careful painting are usually enough to achieve a display quality result.
