Thanks to our good friend Adam (Ads) we agreed upon to share his review on our forum. Adam already has published this review on his great review site
The Modelling News.
Let´s see what he thinks about Zoukei-mura´s newest kit:
Review Zoukei-Mura’s new P-51K/ Mustang IV in 32nd scale
In the race to market one of the most popular WWII fighters ever the British version of the Mustang – the MK IV (P-51K) has been overlooked in 32nd scale – until now that is - as Zoukei-mura takes the mantle with their latest Mustang that can well wear stars and bars or roundels. We are building it but we thought we would give you a look at what is inside the box before we do…
Mustang IV (UK), P-51D (Early Type) & P-51K (USA)
Manufacturer: Zoukei-Mura
Scale: 1/32nd
Kit No: 32009 / SWS09
Styrene Parts: 292
Decals for four different aircraft (Mustang IV x 2 types, P-51 D Early Type x 1, P-51 K x 1)
Around $99(USD)/ 9,500yen - directly from Zoukei-mura´s website or their distributors
I think it is rather fitting for Zoukei-Mura to so prominently promote the RAF aircraft on the front this kit of the P-51K/ Mustang IV with dynamic boxart complete with British roundels and sharkmouth gnashing as she climbs skywards. The British and her commonwealth allies did use the Mustang during the war in great numbers (the RF being the first user of the Mustang) and I suppose it was the use of the British Merlin engine combined with the laminar flow wings and streamlined fuselage designed in the US that made the Mustang into arguably the best fighter of the war.
