## Description

As arguably the finest fighter aircraft of WWII, the Mustang went on to be selected as the USAF primary piston engined fighter after the war, with all other types relegated to secondary roles, or withdrawn from service. The re-designation of USAF aircraft in 1948 saw the P for Pursuit change to F for Fighter, resulting in the Mustang becoming a North American F-51D.

Review: Nice kit - Excellent quality and great fit and zero flash
Review: Quede muy impresionado con este kit Airflix. Me gustaron los detalles, la cabina por ejemplo esta muy bien detallada, me gusto mucho construirla, me gusto el detalle del fuselaje y alas, estas encajan perfectamente con el fuselaje. Lo único que me parece que debe de mejorar es la paleta de colores, que no está ni muy claro donde poner cada color ni tampoco el color exacto ya que se basan en pinturas Emmanuel de Humbrol y no en el nombre del color. Tuve que hacer una pequeña investigación en la página de Humbrol para saber el equivalente. En resumen muy buen kit, muy preciso y fácil de armar

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Impressed with Airfix of Late
*by C***T on February 24, 2022*

I received this as a present as it matched the theme of kits I've been working on. I was particularly pleased given that I'm a sucker for the P-40. Bottom line, a very good kit for the money, and with just a little extra work can be taken to a really whole new level (there are a plethora of after-market add-on's if you want to really go all out). It's also a suitable kit for newbies or kids. Fit and finish were good, particularly in the wing roots where absolutely no filling was required. Airfix uses a softer plastic that most kit producers, but I have not found that to be a problem although I'd caution discrete use of cement as it will definitely distort the surface of some parts if you get careless. Decals were particularly well done. You get two sets of liveries in the kit, one for the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers), in this case the "Hells Angels" squadron. The other is for Lt George Welch's of the 47th Pursuit Squadron depicted as of 7 December 1941 and is shown on the box art. There are internal decals for the panel and other parts of the cockpit which came out surprisingly well. Paint is obviously not included, although both liveries are easily addressed through commonly available paints. My kit is done up using a combination of Tamiya and Vallejo products. Cement used was Tamiya extra thin along with some CA (super glue) for key parts. I use both the both thin and gel CA although as long as you prep the parts you can easily get by with regular plastic cement. Clear parts were okay and full confession I always struggle with these, but I got them decently masked and they came out fine. One problem with fit is the front windscreen, which does not fit the fuselage exactly and leaves a gap at the bottom left and right corners. It's not particularly noticeable but I know it's there, so a bit irritating. Canopies are secured with white glue (Elmer's is fine). You can get into a separate discussion on accuracy but one thing that's missing is the front iron sight, which on this model P-40 is placed forward of the pilot's windscreen more or less directly in front of the pilot. It's very noticeable for fans of this airplane, however at this scale would also be very fragile which is why I suspect Airfix dispensed with it. I considered scratch building one, but I also got concerned with it just breaking off, so abandoned the idea. So, very good kit and I'm thinking of purchasing a couple more to display different liveries and different stages of use. I kept weathering on this build to a minimum as it was a peacetime aircraft and would be kept in a better state of cleanliness than later in the war. Recommend this wholeheartedly as a gift to a young modeler.
