Fun to build. *by C***J on 9 May 2025* This is a great kit of a classic aeroplane. out of the box there are a number of options and plenty of detail to keep fans happy. It's size means that it doesn't take up too much space when built. Parts fit is great but beware when assembling the engines because the propeller axles can get contaminated and seize up when using liquid cement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hurricane *by M***H on 12 November 2025* A brilliant kit ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Airfix 1/48 P-51D Mustang *by E***H on 26 April 2025* Still to build the kit and will probably be on the shelf until summer is past but it seems to be a well made kit with 2 build options with nice decal sets. Although it is a 1/48 kit it seems to me to be quite small but that is probably just myself being used to making bombers at this scale. It will be a challenge for my dodgy eyesight but i am looking forward to the build. ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix North American P-51D Mustang 1:48 WWII Aviation Plastic Model Kit A05131A - Rustark 9Pcs Gundam Model Tools Kit Hobby Building, Repairing and Fixing Set for Kids - Cement Glue Value Pack Testors 2-7/8 fl oz tubes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/439330577-airfix-model-set-a05131a-north-american-p-51d-mustang-model](https://www.desertcart.us/products/439330577-airfix-model-set-a05131a-north-american-p-51d-mustang-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
