Academy 12338 North Africa P-51 1/48 Collector Model Kit  [AC-12338]

Academy 12338 - 1/48 USAAF P-51 Mustang North Africa Edition

The Academy 12338 model reproduces the P-51 Mustang at 1/48 scale, reflecting the machines flown by USAAF units in North Africa. The set includes finely detailed sprues and clear parts to help recreate cockpit and canopy detail true to the era.

Service Background and Modellers Interest

The Mustang's combat record in World War II makes it a popular subject for scale modelling. This kit emphasises realistic surface detail and period features so builders can accurately portray desert-weathered aircraft and unit markings.

Build Characteristics and Presentation

Engineered for accurate assembly, the kit's parts align to form crisp panel lines and authentic contours. Once painted and finished, the model displays well on a base or diorama evoking North African airfields.
