Hobby Boss 1/48 P-51D Mustang IV Assembly Kit

The P-51D Mustang remains a classic subject for scale modelling thanks to its sleek form and performance history. This 1/48 kit from Hobby Boss reproduces the Mustang's distinctive contours and provides components geared to accurate assembly.

Heritage Accuracy and Scale Faithfulness

The model reflects the P-51Ds characteristic silhouette and aerodynamic features, aiming to convey the look of the aircraft used in WWII escort and air superiority roles. It is suitable for builders focused on period-correct appearance.

Construction Notes and Display Potential

Well-detailed parts and engineered joins support a satisfying build sequence, rewarding careful sanding and painting. When complete the Hobby Boss 85806 makes for a faithful shelf model or a centrepiece in a wartime aircraft collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
Use enamel or acrylic model paints matched to historical colour references; primers and thin coats produce the best panel definition on 1/48 scale surfaces.
Clear canopy parts are included in the kit; handle them carefully to avoid scratches and mask before painting to preserve transparency.
Build time varies by skill and level of finishing, but expect several evenings for assembly and additional time for painting and weathering to reach a display standard.
