Historical description: The North American P-51B/C Mustang was one of the most important American fighters of World War II. The B and C variants were the first Mustangs equipped with the new Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which enabled long-range bomber escort operations over Europe. The P-51B/C was used by the USAAF and RAF, participating in key battles from 1943 until the end of the war.

The distinctive diamond tire tread in the Eduard 648986 set is faithfully rendered based on historical documentation. This allows for an authentic recreation of the Mustang's landing gear, significantly enhancing the detail level of your model. The resin wheels deliver much sharper detail and a realistic reproduction of both the tread pattern and wheel rims compared to standard plastic parts found in typical base kits.

Assembly is not complicated (difficulty level 2/5), and the included painting masks make it easy to precisely paint the tires and rims. This set is an excellent choice for building realistic dioramas and contest models.
