Compatibility
This model accessory set is dedicated for use with North American P-51B Mustang and North American P-51C Mustang models in 1/72 scale. Specifically, it has been optimized for models of these aircraft by Academy, ensuring a perfect fit and ease of assembly. Compatibility with P-51 models from other manufacturers in the same scale may require individual verification.
Materials and Assembly Recommendations
The photo-etched parts are made of metal, allowing for precise shaping and painting. For bonding metal parts, the use of cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA glue) is recommended, as it provides a strong and fast bond. For advanced modelers, it is also possible to join metal parts using soldering, which guarantees maximum joint strength.
Recommended Complementary Accessories
To further enhance your model and achieve maximum realism, we recommend exploring our wide range of additional detailing elements. For aircraft models, metal gun barrels, resin wheels, dedicated painting masks, and high-quality decals are often used. Utilizing such accessories allows for a comprehensive elevation of the model's standard to exhibition level.
