Tamiya 60328 - 1/32 North American F-51D Mustang Scale Modeller Kit  [60328]

From P-51D to F-51D: Korean War Operational History

The North American F-51D Mustang began life as the P-51D and earned its reputation through efficient laminar wing design. After the Air Force became a separate service, the aircraft was redesignated and pressed back into service during the Korean conflict, where its versatility proved important.

Operational Role and Modelling Potential

The F-51D served where rough airstrips and close support needs ruled out early jet types. As a 1/32 scale subject the Tamiya kit allows modellers to recreate mission-specific loadouts and surface finish, offering strong potential for historically accurate builds.

Construction Tips for the Enthusiast

The Tamiya 1/32 F-51D Mustang model kit is suited to modellers who enjoy precise assembly. It features a well-represented cockpit, crisp surface detail and parts that respond well to filling and sanding for a clean final build.
