Why this kit matters
The North American P-51 Mustang played a pivotal role in World War II as one of the most effective long-range fighter aircraft of its era. Its distinctive design, powerful Merlin engine and versatile service with Allied air forces have made it an iconic subject in aviation modelling.
This starter kit helps lower the barrier to entering the scale model hobby by providing paint, glue and brush in one package. For model makers seeking to build a display-worthy aircraft without sourcing all accessories separately, this set strikes a balance between accessibility and authenticity.
How to use it
Begin by separating the plastic parts from the sprue and cleaning any mould lines. Use the supplied cement glue to assemble the fuselage, wings and tail. Apply the included paints (or supplement with additional colours if desired) to finish the model. Let the paint dry fully before mounting or displaying.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
