The North American P-51D Mustang is a landmark WWII fighter celebrated for speed and range, powered by the Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin V-1650 engine that gave it an edge at altitude. The P-51K, fitted with the Aero Products propeller, represents the variant deployed in the Pacific Theater and highlights the Mustang's adaptability in different combat zones.
This 1/32 scale kit from Tamiya captures fine surface detail, cockpit fittings, and distinctive propeller profiles. Careful reference work went into ensuring parts reflect the P-51D, P-51K, and the F-6D reconnaissance variant, letting builders choose the configuration they prefer while keeping historical accuracy.
The kit includes a display stand for a flying pose that suits shelf or cabinet exhibits. Photo-etched parts and included masking sheets make it easier to reach a high standard of finish, while the magnetic cowlings allow access to the engine area for added realism during display.
