North American P-51 Mustang fighter

1/48 P-51 D, 'Miss Marilyn II'

This is the early ICM (Tamiya knockoff) 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as "Miss Marilyn II". As an early ICM kit, there were a number of challenges, HUGE sink marks, short shots, incorrect detail parts copied from other kits, and a [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-51B Mustang

Hot off the bench is the classic Tamiya P-51B that still represents a very nice model. However, I am looking forward to seeing Eduard's' new P-51B release so as to make a comparison between the two. Typical Tamiya, parts fit and the only [...]

P-51D-20 Mustang "Delta Queen", Iwo Jima 1945

Guys, I think this is a bit surprise for my friends here as they were following my Hellcat build in WIP section. I needed break. I just got to the point when I eager to build something without waiting for 3D model... Therefore I pull out [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang

In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]

1/48 Airfix F-51 "Rotation Blues"

Here is my take on Airfix's Korean War F-51. Great kit with excellent value. Built OOB with a few scratchbuilt modifications- namely a seat cushion with seat belts and some additional Korean War radio equipment that was not included in [...]

P-51 B Kovozavody Prostejov Operation Frantic-2

Well, it's the end of the year. This is the fourth Mustang I've built in 12 months. The latter is so special that I come back to the KP brand again, having much more experience. So this time I will start unusually with a description of the [...]

Airfix 1/48 P-51D "Jersey J**k"

My first post in a few months- wanted to get one posted before 2023 ran out. Airfix kit, finished with Vallejo acrylics, oil washes, and Tamiya weathering powders. A few self inflicted errors along the way but overall it was a smooth [...]

Second release: Modelsvit 1/48 P-51H Mustang

The original Allison-powered Mustang was a lightweight fighter with excellent handling capability. North American was aware of this during the aircraft’s original wartime development, and put considerable effort into trying to come up [...]

Review: Halberd Models 1/48 North American Mustang I

In October 1981, Edgar Schmued came out to the Planes of Fame Air Museum to take part in a program celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first flight of his most famous design, the North American P-51 Mustang. At the event, he was asked [...]
