Recently, Arma Hobby has been releasing new sets at a quite impressive pace. I just reviewed the content of the Sea Hurricane set, and here a new box fell into my hands. In addition, this is a Deluxe Edition, so there are frames inside that allow you to build two planes. The main theme connecting these two constructions is "Cactus Air Force", i.e. the actions of the combined air forces of the Marines, US Army and US Navy in the Guadalcanal area in 1942 - 1943.
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.
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.
