Historical background and use

The P-51D Mustang is one of the most famous fighters of World War II, produced by the United States and widely used from 1944 on all war fronts, especially in Europe. It served mainly as a bomber escort and ground-support fighter. The diamond pattern tread was a characteristic feature of wheels used on Mustangs based at various airfields during the war.

Material and technology

The set is made of high-quality polyurethane resin, enabling very crisp details often impossible to obtain in standard plastic parts. The wheels feature sharply defined tread and realistically replicated rims with subtle detailing that imitates the original.

Recommendation and difficulty level

The set is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to take their model to a higher level of realism. Assembly and painting should not be an issue for those who have previously worked with resin— we rate the difficulty at 2/5. We definitely recommend it to all military aviation enthusiasts and collectors of perfect P-51D replicas.
