Hasegawa 02054 1/72 P-51B Mustang D-Day Marking Edition

The Hasegawa 02054 scale model in 1/72 reproduces the P-51B Mustang with its distinctive D-Day markings and accurate silhouette. The P-51B earned a reputation in World War II for its range and agility, and this kit reflects those defining lines. Those who collect or display wartime aircraft will find the kits proportions and engraved details rewarding.

Historical Context and Display

The P-51B contributed to extended escort missions and played a key part in allied air operations. This model offers a historically recognisable subject that fits neatly into mixed era displays or standalone presentations with period-accurate finishes.

Construction Notes for Modellers

Designed with the intermediate to advanced modeller in mind, the kit contains delicate parts that require patient assembly. Paint and decal work are not included, so plan painting sequences and use fine filling and sanding to get clean seams and authentic surface appearance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly required: Yes
  • Paint and decals included: No
This Hasegawa 02054 kit suits modellers with some experience in small-scale aircraft; novices may find the finer parts challenging without practice.
The kit contains basic cockpit components moulded in plastic. For greater realism modellers often fit aftermarket details like resin seats or photo-etch harnesses, subject to fit checks.
Use careful masking and thin paint layers to keep panel lines visible. Allow adequate drying between coats and handle decals with care to avoid silvering.
