1/32 RAF Mustang III (P-51B/C)
Trumpeter 1/32 RAF Mustang III (P-51B/C) is a plastic kit of the fighter in British colours. It contains 292 parts and markings for No. 315 Polish Squadron RAF. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The P-51 was designed in 1940 at Britain's request, with the prototype built within 120 days; it was the Royal Air Force that named it Mustang. The Merlin-powered P-51B and C were designated Mustang III in RAF service. American P-51Bs first entered combat in December 1943 with the 354th Fighter Group of the Ninth Air Force in England and made up the bulk of Mustangs in action until mid-1944.
According to the manufacturer, the Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale consists of 292 parts on 12 sprues, three rubber tyres, two photo-etched frets and a film part. The left and right fuselage halves are slide-moulded, and a clear fuselage is also provided to show the complete interior. The model is 267 mm long with a 338 mm wingspan. The decals depict Mustang III FB387 PK-G of No. 315 (Dębliński) Polish Squadron RAF, Brenzett, June 1944, flown by the Polish ace S/Ldr Eugeniusz Horbaczewski.
Invasion stripes and British camouflage give the model the typical look of summer 1944. The clear fuselage offers the unusual option of displaying the model as a technical showcase of its internal layout. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
