1/48 Italeri Mustang Mk. IVa WWII Scale Model

The North American P-51 Mustang has a storied place in WWII aviation history. The Mk. IVa variant, fitted with the Packard-built V12 Merlin engine, combined reliable power with high speed capability, enabling it to serve effectively as an escort fighter on long-range missions.

Historical role and interest for modellers

Operated by both US and British forces, the Mustang Mk. IVa saw varied service and liveries. Italeri's 1/48 kit presents the aircraft's defining shapes and allows modellers to reproduce period paint and markings with accuracy.

Contents and recommended finishing

The kit includes a super decal sheet for four versions to help you depict different units and theatres. With a final length of 20.4 cm, the model is a tidy but detailed addition to any WWII aviation collection.

This Italeri 2745 kit is approachable for confident beginners who are comfortable using glue and basic modelling tools. Patience with small parts will pay off.
Panel lines are moulded to accept washes and weathering. Use thin washes and soft pastels for subtle operational wear consistent with wartime service.
Key tools include fine tweezers, sanding sticks, a good modelling knife, and precision brushes. A magnifier and clamp can help with small subassemblies.
