P-51 D Mustang 1/72 Arma Hobby - Model Review

Image
 Arma Hobby really made us wait a long time for this new release. The first announcements appeared quite a few years ago — if my memory serves me right, it was shortly after the debut of the Mustang B/C version, around 2022. In the meantime, there were even some doubts about whether this model would ever see the light of day. After all, Eduard already has a Mustang in the same scale on the market. However, Arma Hobby surprised everyone by finally releasing their own “little pony” — the Mustang D. So the question remains: after some recent issues with sprue quality, does this kit live up to the earlier Mustang B/C? Or perhaps history has come full circle again, and we’re looking at another step forward, just like last time? Has the manufacturer introduced any unexpected design solutions? I’ll try to answer these questions in this article.

P-51 B Mustang 1/72 Arma Hobby - Model Review

Image
 You can never have too many Mustangs! It seems this maxim guides the owners of Arma Hobby, because yet another Mustang from the Warsaw-based manufacturer landed on my desk. This time, however, we get a miniature in a heavily assault-oriented version – a new sprue, added to the already known Mustang parts, allows you to equip the model with triple rocket launchers, commonly called bazookas by soldiers. This promises to be explosive! If you want to see this set up close, be sure to visit my YouTube channel where you’ll find a full video review of this model.

Nakajima Ki-43 II Hayabusa 1:72 Arma Hobby - Model rewiev

Image
 It must be admitted that in the past year, Arma Hobby didn’t exactly spoil fans of the 1:72 scale. Sure, a few new boxes with the brand's logo appeared on the market, but they were merely re-releases of well-known models, such as the P-51B or the iconic Hurricane . A bit monotonous, wouldn’t you agree? Fortunately, at the end of the year, in December 2024, the Warsaw-based manufacturer surprised modelers with a true novelty: the Nakajima Ki-43 II Hayabusa—a Japanese fighter straight from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Ki-84 Hayate Special Attack Units 1:72 Arma Hobby - Model review

We had to wait a while for another box of Ki-84 Hayate from Arma Hobby. At least compared to the Mustangs, of which several sets have already been released. Because the Expert Set sold out some time ago, I expected Hayate to be released in a new convention without photoedged parts but with canopy masks. And here it is:
