Eduard 1/72 P-51B/C

By Jacob Russell

Arma Hobby's new 1/72nd scale North American P-51B/C Mustang kit has been warmly received. It is accurate and highly detailed right out of the box. So naturally Eduard has introduced some upgrades for it. Let's take a look at some of them:

672280 Brassin P-51B/C exhaust stacks w/fairing PRINT ($7.95 USD)

This simple set is a pair of 3-D printed resin exhausts with fairings. Their detail is superb, plus the stacks openings are drilled. These look great.

672282 Brassin P-51B/C wheels diamond treadĀ ($7.95 USD)

These resin wheels have a subtle diamond tread to the tires, and the tires themselves have a very subtle bulge. They also include a set of rice paper masks.

73765 P-51B/C photo-etch ($19.95 USD)

There are 34 parts on a single fret. Many of these parts are pre-painted. The parts includes a new instrument panel, seat harness, radio sets, sidewall instruments, etc. Additional upgrades include oleo scissors, 2 styles of cowl gills, rudder pedals, and tailwheel doors.

Conclusion

Here are 3 great detail sets for your Arma Hobby P-51B/C. Each of them enhances a kit that is already highly detailed right out of the box. I recommend these and I would like to thank Eduard for the review samples.
