The Eduard 1:72 North American P-51D Mustang Photo-Etched Set for Hasegawa is a specialized modeling product designed for precisely enhancing and elevating the realism of 1/72 scale plastic model aircraft. It was created for historical aviation enthusiasts who wish to replicate the P-51D Mustang with the utmost attention to detail.
The primary purpose of this set is to replace less detailed plastic parts of the model with their metal counterparts. Thanks to photo-etching technology, these parts are characterized by exceptional thinness, sharp details, and precise engravings, which are difficult to achieve with plastic injection molding.
Key Features and Application
Material: The parts are made from high-quality metal, which ensures unparalleled detail and durability compared to plastic parts.
Scale: The set is designed for 1/72 scale models, perfectly matching the proportions and dimensions of the original aircraft.
Compatibility: This product is dedicated to plastic models of the North American P-51D Mustang, and specifically for kits produced by Hasegawa. This ensures a perfect fit and ease of assembly.
Detail: The photo-etched parts replicate fine details such as cockpit panels, seat belts, air intake grilles, small flaps, and more, which are crucial for an authentic model appearance.
Application Instructions and Compatibility
Assembly of photo-etched parts requires precision. For durable attachment to the model, we recommend using specialized cyanoacrylate (CA) glue, which quickly bonds metal to plastic. Alternatively, for more advanced modelers, it is possible to join metal parts using soldering, which provides extremely strong and durable bonds.
This set is an excellent enhancement for anyone who owns or plans to build a Hasegawa P-51D Mustang model and is looking for a way to elevate its aesthetics and historical accuracy. For further detailing of your P-51D Mustang model, we also recommend other modeling accessories such as metal gun barrels, resin cockpit sets, or pilot figures, available in our selection.
