Eduard D72052 P-51D-5 '357th FG' – Photo-Etched Detail Set for 1/72 Scale Model

The Eduard D72052 photo-etched detail set has been designed for the most demanding modelers wishing to elevate their 1/72 scale P-51D-5 Mustang fighter model to a higher level of realism. This product is dedicated to the model of the famous aircraft from the 357th Fighter Group of the United States Army Air Forces, which took part in combat operations during World War II. Mustangs of this unit became renowned for their numerous successes in escorting bombers over Europe, being among the most effective USAAF fighters on the Western Front from 1944-45.

Eduard D72052 is a top-quality photo-etched detail set, which enables the inclusion of extremely precise components—impossible to replicate with traditional plastic molding techniques. The set includes, among others, detailed seatbelts, instrument panels, cockpit levers, pedals, exterior details such as flaps, antennas, and small landing gear elements. All components are made from thin sheet metal, resistant to bending and damage, which guarantees the model's longevity and an aesthetic finish.
