Hobby Boss 85802 1/48 P-51D Mustang IV Scale Replica Kit  [HB-85802]

P-51D Mustang IV Scale Replica Overview

The P-51D Mustang IV is a hallmark of WWII fighter design, noted for its long range and operational flexibility. Developed after a 1940 request from Great Britain, it served across multiple fronts and escorted B-29s during Pacific operations. The P-51D model is distinguished by its bubble canopy and upgraded firepower, with production reaching 7,956 units.

The Hobby Boss 1/48 kit reproduces the Mustang's proportions with precise panel detail and a tidy fuselage assembly. With more than 40 parts across several sprues, this static model offers a compact yet detailed project for model builders who enjoy careful assembly and accurate finishing.
