Tribute to the Red-Tail Flyers in 1/48 Scale

The Tamiya 25147 kit faithfully represents the P-51D Mustang flown by the Tuskegee Airmen, bringing the story of the pioneering African-American fighter pilots into a compact 1/48 scale build. These aviators, often called the Red-Tail Angels, were part of the 332nd Fighter Group and earned a reputation for skilled bomber escort missions over Europe.

Model Details and Period Accuracy

This model captures the P-51D's profile and mechanical features with care. The finished model measures 205mm long with a 236mm wingspan and includes cockpit detailing and the characteristic radiator assembly. Builders get three authentic marking options and canopy masking stickers for cleaner paintwork, plus a seated pilot figure to complete display scenes.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Length: 205mm
  • Wingspan: 236mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: Cockpit details, radiator, 3 marking options, canopy masking stickers, seated pilot figure
This kit is aimed at intermediate modelers. Parts fit is typically precise, but careful trimming and sanding are recommended to achieve crisp panel lines and smooth seams.
Use enamel or acrylic hobby paints matched to WWII USAAF colours, fine brushes for cockpit detail, and fine grit sandpaper for prep. A gloss coat before decals helps avoid silvering.
The kit supplies pre-cut canopy masks to simplify painting. Test fit them first, press down edges, and remove gently after paint is fully dry for clean cockpit glazing.
