F82G Twin Mustang Aircraft

Nice kit,pilot ,co-pilot,propellers turn,would recommend

This kit is going on nearly 50 years old at this point. Which means, minimal cockpit detail, shallow landing gear bay detail, raised panel lines and not the usual shake and bake fit we have become accustomed to. That said - with some minor work (and I do mean minor) this kit is a diamond in the rough! Working slowly and carefully along the seams, will provide minimal work to repair later on, the fit of the wings/ fuse's was impressive - needing only a quick wipe of Vallejo acrylic putty and minor clean up. I spent most of the time with polishing pads making sure the plastic was smooth for that natural metal. Built right out of the box in the Alaska High Visibility scheme, this is surely an eye catching little kit. Maybe not a first model, but one that shouldnt be passed up at any point. Dont let the raised panel lines scare you!

This is a good kit, provided you keep its age in mind. The Revell Twin Mustang is the right shape, with adequate surface detail, although the panel lines are raised, which is an issue for some modellers. Parts fit very well for the most part. The twin cockpits have acceptable detail, which is somewhat ruined by a sliding mechanism for the canopies. A bit of work can remove the gimmick and produce a nice cockpit. The landing wheel bays are well-detailed, and the kit has a nice bonus in the form of a machine gun bay which can be posed open to display the guns. Also includes two drop tanks, two small bombs, a rocket pack, and a large radome to hang under the airframe. The kit comes with the choice of either the pictured bare metal/Arctic red machine, or an all-black night fighter from the Korean War. Both are eye-catching schemes for a unique aircraft. The instructions have a neat feature where each part is given a name, in addition to its number on the sprue; this gives a bit of extra educational impact to the kit.
