Compact P-51D Mustang Representing the Red-Tail Squadron

The Tamiya 25147 captures the P-51D Mustang associated with the Tuskegee Airmen in a neat 1/48 scale assembly kit. The Tuskegee pilots, members of the 332nd Fighter Group, are remembered for their pioneering service and the distinctive red tail markings.

Key Kit Highlights and Measurements

The kit reproduces the Mustang's sleek form and functional details. Finished dimensions are 205mm in length and a 236mm wingspan, with well-modelled cockpit components and the aircraft radiator. Included are three marking schemes, canopy masking stickers to aid painting, and a seated pilot figure for display authenticity.

Is the Tamiya 25147 a display only model or can it be motorised?

This kit is designed as a static scale model. Converting it to a motorised or flying model would require substantial modification and is not supported by the standard kit parts.

How should I remove mould lines and prepare parts?

Use a modelling knife and fine files to remove mould lines, then sand gently with fine grit paper. Clean parts before painting to ensure paint adhesion.

Can I display the model with the canopy open?

Yes, with careful trimming and planning you can pose the canopy open. Use the supplied canopy masks while painting to keep glazing clear, then fit the canopy carefully for an open appearance.
