As with their Zeros, Phantoms, and Spitfires, Tamiya has clearly engineered their tooling to crank out Mustang variants other than just the “-D.”</p> <p>Upon completion of the <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="439fed31-9f5a-4879-b67c-05b2e71e516f" href="/review/supermarine-spitfire-mk-xvie" title="Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XVIe ">Spitfire Mk. XVIe a few weeks ago</a> I seriously questioned if those show-off engineers and toolmakers at Tamiya could top the Spitfire series. Well, they may have done just that. Although I’ve had the kit for barely 8 hours, it’s clear the engineering and layout of the kit bears much resemblance to that of the “Spit.” Here’s a breakdown of what’s in the box:</p> <ul> <li>20 Styrene Sprues (16 gray, 3 clear, 1 black)</li> <li>2 Photo-Etch Frets</li> <li>Vinyl Tires</li> <li>2 Sheets of Decals</li> <li>334<sup>th</sup>Fighter Squadron, 4<sup>th</sup>Fighter Group (box art)</li> <li>487<sup>th</sup>Fighter Squadron, 352<sup>nd</sup>Fighter Group</li> <li>79<sup>th</sup>Fighter Squadron, 20<sup>th</sup>Fighter Group</li> <li>1 Set of Masks</li> <li>Hinge and Magnet Hardware</li> <li>Phillips Screwdriver</li> <li>16-Page Color Reference Manual</li> <li>Instructions (75 Steps, but who counts?)</li> </ul> <p>The first 6 assembly steps focus on the powerplant. The Merlin, apparently borrowing tooling from the Spitfire and adding some Mustang-specific parts, is nothing shy of outstanding. After a brief diversion to the cockpit and fuselage assembly, engine oil and cooling assembly wraps up in only 5 more simple steps.</p> <p>The cockpit is also a model unto itself with 12 steps of gray and clear styrene, photo-etch, and decals. The molded detail is crisp and appears accurate against references. Options for 3 instrument panels, 2 seats, and 2 gunsights are offered. A seated pilot option is also included.</p> <p>Fuselage assembly accommodates selection of either early or later style tails, and spans 5 steps, to include integration of engine, cockpit, and radiator sub-assemblies. Surface detail is fine – almost sublime in places. Absolutely gorgeous! Not really sure where all the web forum flap about exaggerated rivet detail originated, but it’s dead wrong. Fuselage and wing rivet detail is spot-on.</p> <p>All control surfaces are hinged and positionable. Looks like 8 steps in all to assemble and integrate ruder, elevators, ailerons, and landing flaps. Early (fabric-covered) and late (metal covered) elevator options are included.</p> <p>Wing assembly spans 8 steps, excluding control surface integration, and includes subassembly of the landing gear bay and .50-cal bays, and is followed by an exhaustive 7-step landing gear assembly process.</p> <p>Construction and integration of external fuel tanks, gun bay doors, prop, canopy, engine cowling, and other fiddly bits account for the remainder of the build. As with the Spitfire, the removable engine cowl panels are apparently molded to scale thickness, and are attached by magnets built into the engine and airframe.</p> <p>Decals appear to be typical of other Tamiya offerings, and of good color and register. As noted earlier, markings for 3 aircraft are included.</p> <p>All said, I eagerly await this build, and am starting to sense the expectation that the satisfaction of this one may actually surpass that of the Tamiya Spitfire. Time will tell -- please stay tuned to this website for progress reports.</p> <p>My sincere thanks to the good folks at Tamiya USA for providing this sample kit and to the IPMS Reviewer Corps Commandant for entrusting me with the build and review.</p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodereviewfield-review-nr-next clearfix"> <div
