Product Description
Britain's most pressing need was for aircraft and in 1940, the British Purchasing Commission approached US aircraft manufacturer North American Aviation, to produce license-built Curtiss P-40 fighters for the RAF. Slightly indignant at the prospect, North American officials proposed to build a totally new aircraft for the Royal Air Force, which would be superior to the P-40 and more suitable for their needs. So impressive was their pitch, the British agreed to their proposal and signed a contract for the new aircraft. Unfortunately, time was very much against the North American design team, as Britain desperately needed aircraft without delay. Work on the new project began immediately. What North American Aviation achieved with their new aircraft design was nothing short of astonishing. Incorporating highly advanced new features and the very latest manufacturing techniques, the prototype aircraft (NA-73X) rolled out of their hangar on 9thSeptember 1940, only 120 days after the contract had been signed. The first flight of the aircraft took place just 47 days later and other than the usual issues associated with a first flight, the aircraft showed great promise and was a clear vindication of the confidence North American Aviation had in their design capabilities.

At this level of difficulty, an air brush is helpful
My only problem with the kit was trying to understand what needed to be painted with which colors. Part of that could be due to inexperience but I wish I'd been able to understand better.

Reviewed in Mexico on October 7, 2023
However, it’s fair to say that Airfix has done a brilliant job and has laid down a statement of intent that it intended to produce the definitive Mustang, at least until someone else decides to have a crack at it.
Detail is exceptional, with very fine moulding seen everywhere. There’s been criticism from some quarters as to the depth of the panel lines and rivets, but the real article had filler applied to wings and body to smooth the airflow, so there’s no reason why the keen modeller shouldn’t do the same.
The slightly odd fit of the wing box, tail structure and fin makes sense if you’re looking to release variants in the near future (much like Airfix’s Meteor in the same scale). Filleted and non-filleted fins, factory specific variants, even the wing shape of later Mustangs will be easily catered for without massive retooling, thus giving Airfix a chance to market some niche variants of this well known aircraft.
I’ve yet to fully assemble this kit, but early impressions are very good indeed.
While I’d rather that Airfix turned its attention to some unsung planes in this scale (Hawker Tempest, Westland Welkin and Whirlwind, a decent 1:48 Typhoon and the Canadair Sabre), the prolific nature of scale Mustangs means that there are plenty of comparative kits from rival manufacturers which will be found wanting.
The only criticism that I can justifiably levy is that there are only two kit options out of the box, the more colourful of the two is quite challenging on the eye. If you’ve a spare set of decals from another manufacturer’s P51d then you’ve more options open to you, but having said that Airfix’s decals are excellent.
既に同機は人気機種故にキットは多数存在するので正直面白みに欠けるチョイスですが、やはり老舗メーカーとしては避けられないアイテムなのでしょう。
実機をスキャンしてキット化したらしくプロポーションは良好で、コクピットや主脚収納庫のディテールもいい感じです。
機首のエアフィルターが別パーツになっており、ルーバーが付いたタイプも再現できるのが珍しいです。
右翼下面の識別灯はクリアーパーツですが、翼端灯がクリアー化されていないのは中途半端な感じで残念です。
ガンサイトは初期のN-9(パーツE7)と後期のK-14(パーツE9)がパーツ化されていますが、K-14は戦後型の形状を参考にしてしまったのか、何故かサンバイザーや保護パッドなどが省略されています。
アクセサリーは75ガロン増槽と108ガロン強化紙製増槽、M10ロケットランチャーが付属。
デカールは上質なカルトグラフ製で、マーキングはインド/ビルマ戦線で活躍した、第2特任航空群と欧州戦線の13機撃墜のエース、ドン ストレイト少佐機の二種が付属します。
ストレイト少佐機の撃墜マークはハーケンクロイツが正解ですが、デカールでは大人の事情でただの十の字なのが残念です。
P-51Dのキットは既にありふれた存在になっていますが、製作に値する良いキットだと思います。
