Tamiya 1/48 North American P-51D Mustang c/w Army Staff Car (89732)
Combination set containing 1/48 scale assembly kit models of the North American P-51D
Mustang and staff car. Existing P-51D kit (ITEM 61089) parts used, with brand new sprues
included for pilot figure and fuel tanks, as well as 3 types of new markings. The staff car
is the first of its kind in this scale, and the new moldings accurately reproduce its
rounded body and distinctive bulbous fenders. Staff car also features die-cast chassis to
give it an additional sense of volume
When the U.S. formally entered WWII in 1941, its automobile industry was called upon by President Roosevelt to become the "Arsenal of Democracy." Detroit responded by halting new car development and changing its assembly lines to churn out tanks, planes, and other war equipment. The 4-door sedan selected for use as a military staff car was the last new car model available until the end of hostilities in 1945. It featured distinctive "suicide" rear doors, V8 engine, and had a fuel-fired heater in the passenger compartment.
