Combat Set Me262 & P-51B, 1/72 - Revell 03711

Combat Set Me262 & P-51B Mustang Revell 03711 brings together two military aircraft model kits to be assembled at 1/72 scale: the German Messerschmitt Me 262 and the American North American P-51B Mustang. This set lets you recreate two iconic fighters from World War II, from very different design philosophies: the Me 262 is a jet aircraft, while the P-51B is a piston-engine fighter.

Two World War II fighters at 1/72

The Messerschmitt Me 262 is known as the first operational jet fighter in history. Used by Germany during the final phase of the conflict, it is distinguished by its two jet engines mounted under the wings and by its immediately recognizable silhouette.

The P-51 Mustang, designed in the United States by North American Aviation, was among the most striking Allied fighters of the conflict. The P-51B version belongs to the early Mustang variants equipped with the Merlin engine—an important evolution in the history of this aircraft.

Presented together, these two aircraft make an interesting subject for a collection dedicated to World War II military aviation or for building an air-diorama scene at 1/72.

The Revell model kit

This Revell reference includes two plastic kits to assemble at 1/72 scale. The total set comprises 111 parts, and the assembled models measure 148 mm and 135 mm in length, respectively. At this scale, the dimensions of the real aircraft are reduced 72 times—a format appreciated for displaying multiple aircraft in a reasonable space.

The box includes all the elements needed to build both models, along with an illustrated assembly guide. This is a Model Set: Revell Aqua Color paints, a paintbrush, and Revell Contacta Professional Mini glue are also included.

Assembly and finishing

As with any plastic model kit, it is recommended to carefully remove the parts from the sprues, eliminate any traces of cutting, and check fitment before gluing. Working in sub-assemblies generally makes it easier to paint the cockpit, landing gear, propellers, or jet engines.

The included paints allow you to start the build. A suitable primer, fine brushes, sandpaper, and a little modeling putty can usefully complete your supplies to ensure neat assemblies and a great finish. Decal application is best done on a clean, smooth surface, after the paint has completely dried.
