Fit issues and cleanup make it tough to tame
DSC_0009
What do you do in World War II if you need to double the range of your best escort fighter? If you are North American Aviation aircraft designer Edgar Schmued, you stretch your design for the lightweight XP-51F by nearly 5 feet, connect two of them with a new center wing and stabilizer/elevator, and call it the Twin Mustang. Designated the F-82, the new fighter was nearly 30 mph faster than the P-51D and carried six bore-sighted, .50-caliber machine guns, up to 4,000 pounds of ordnance on six hard points. It could fly nearly 3,500 miles when equipped with four 110-gallon drop tanks.

Modelsvit’s new Twin Mustang contains 15 sprues of gray and clear plastic, a photo-etched metal (PE) fret of 41 parts, two sheets of vinyl masks, and two large decal sheets.
