The Tamiya 1/32 Mustang P‑51D (HC‑60322) is a highly detailed plastic model kit of the iconic North American P‑51D Mustang, widely regarded as the definitive WWII variant. The kit captures the aircraft’s unmistakable lines and bubble canopy while offering an exceptional build experience backed by Tamiya’s precision engineering.
Developed from original design drawings and study of real airframes, the model depicts the P‑51D that achieved air superiority over Europe and later escorted B‑29s in the Pacific. The kit reflects the D-model’s enhanced visibility and armament, and includes multiple options to portray early- or late-production aircraft.

The P-51 Mustang is considered by many to be the best fighter aircraft of WWII. The P-51 Mustang came about when the British Purchasing Commission asked North American Aviation to produce the Curtiss P-40 for the RAF, but North American stated they could build something better. The P-51D is considered by many experts to be the definitive variant of the Mustang as it was the most widely produced. It featured a bubble canopy which gave the pilot superb all-round visibility as well as a heavier armament of six 12.7mm machine guns. Wing racks allowed the carriage of drop tanks to extend range or bombs for ground attack. P-51Ds were instrumental in helping the Allies gain air superiority over Europe, and after Germany s defeat, they continued their role as long-range escorts for B-29s attacking Japan. Many also saw service during the Korean War as fighter-bombers and a few even continued to serve with air forces of less developed nations until the 1980s.
