Hobby Boss 80242 P-51 B Miniature Mustang for Modellers

This Hobby Boss 80242 P-51 B reproduces the P-51 B Mustang in a practical 1:72 scale format. The real aircraft gained acclaim for its performance, driven by the Packard V-1650-7 that was built under licence from Rolls-Royce and based on the Merlin design.

Construction Notes and Fit

The components are engineered for accurate alignment and clean joins, making the build process enjoyable for hobbyists who appreciate neat assembly. The kit works well as a practice project for refining painting and finishing skills while producing an accurate small-scale model.

Display and Collection Value

Once assembled, the Hobby Boss 80242 P-51 B suits compact displays and mixed collections. Its scale and historical styling make it a good candidate for shelf or diorama placement among other WWII types.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
It is suited to intermediate builders but accessible to motivated beginners who are comfortable using glue and paint.
Aftermarket items like fine decals or resin seats can add realism, but they are optional depending on the level of detail you want.
With careful cleaning of parts, some seam work and a neat paint job, the kit presents very well without extensive modification.
