P-51D-20 & CAC Mustang Upgrade set & Un-cuffed Props
1/48 Red Roo Models

 

 

The upgrade set (48178) is designed for Airfix kit though there is no reason it should not fit others. This provides parts for the IFF system and rocket rails. One of the main benefits of this set is the research and information about the differences in these aircraft and how to correct them. The picture used above is for illustration only. The stubs for the rockets are in cast metal which the modeller will need to trim and clean up. There is also a new radio in resin and some wire.  RAAF Mustangs deployed to Korea used both the British 60Lb rockets and the American 5" HVAR ones.

 

 

The propeller set (48123) gives us 4 new un-cuffed Aeroproducts blades used by the CAC Mustang and the P-51K. Some kits may need the modeller to make adjustments to the spinner holes to fir these blades correctly. 

 

Conclusion
These are some interesting sets from Red Roo.  Highly Recommended for an accurate Aussie Mustang.
