The P-51D Mustang aircraft is one of the most recognizable and effective fighters of all time. Its debut in 1944 allowed the Allies to achieve air superiority in the final phase of World War II. The P-51D-20 version was equipped, among others, with a distinctive bubble canopy and six 12.7 mm caliber machine guns, as well as more powerful Merlin engines. Mustangs of this version fought on the fronts of Europe and the Pacific, escorting bombers and inflicting significant losses on Axis air forces.

The FE1231 set allows you to enhance the detail of the cockpit and other key interior elements of the aircraft—such as seatbelts, instrument panel, small levers, instrumentation, and other micro-details that cannot be realistically recreated using out-of-the-box plastic parts. Everything is extremely thin, detailed, and designed for perfect fit with the Eduard model.

The recommended assembly difficulty level for this set is 3/5—the accessory requires some experience working with small parts and using cyanoacrylate adhesives. We recommend this set to intermediate and advanced modelers who want to add realism and finesse to their replicas. Assembly significantly enhances the visual value of the model, making even the Weekend edition look professional. Eduard FE1231 – an indispensable choice for historical aviation enthusiasts!
