1/48 Modelsvit Prop Aircraft

F-82 Twin Mustang Variants in 1/48 Scale

Modelsvit provides the definitive 1/48 scale kits of the North American F-82 Twin Mustang, one of the most unusual and distinctive aircraft of the immediate post-war period. The F-82E/H Twin Mustang (4820) represents the night fighter variants equipped with radar pods and specialized equipment for all-weather interception missions. The F-82F/G Twin Mustang (4818) covers the long-range escort fighter variants designed to accompany bomber formations on extended missions over the Pacific. These kits capture the unique twin-fuselage design with two P-51 Mustang fuselages joined by a common wing and tail section, creating an aircraft with exceptional range and endurance. The modeling challenges include accurate alignment of the twin fuselages, detailed cockpit interiors for both pilot positions, comprehensive weapons and equipment fits, and authentic markings for Korean War and Cold War operations. These rare subjects integrate perfectly with Tamiya, Trumpeter, and Hobby Boss American aircraft collections.

P-51H Mustang and Experimental Aircraft

Modelsvit offers comprehensive coverage of specialized Mustang variants and experimental designs rarely modeled in any scale. The P-51H Mustang (4817) represents the ultimate development of the Mustang lineage, featuring a lightweight airframe, more powerful engine, and improved performance that made it the fastest production Mustang variant. The P-51H Mustang USAF (4821) provides specific markings and configurations for post-war United States Air Force service. These kits capture the distinctive features that differentiate the P-51H from earlier variants including the taller vertical tail, modified canopy, and lightened structure. The Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender Limited Edition (4808) represents one of the most unusual American fighter designs of World War II, featuring a pusher propeller configuration, swept wings, and canard foreplanes that created a distinctive appearance unlike any other American fighter. This experimental aircraft never reached production but represents an important chapter in American aviation development and aerodynamic research. These specialized subjects complement Kinetic, ICM, Italeri, and Zvezda specialty aircraft.

Early Messerschmitt Bf.109 Variants

The collection features important early variants of Germany's most-produced fighter that are rarely available in 1/48 scale. The Messerschmitt Bf.109 C-3 (4805) represents the pre-war variant that saw service during the Spanish Civil War and early World War II operations, featuring the distinctive early canopy, smaller engine cowling, and different armament fit compared to later variants. The Messerschmitt Bf.109 D-1 (4806) documents the next development step with improved engine and armament, serving as a transitional variant between the early C-series and the famous E-series that fought in the Battle of Britain. These early Bf.109 variants provide essential subjects for modelers building Spanish Civil War, Polish Campaign, and early war Luftwaffe collections, filling gaps in the Bf.109 family tree often overlooked by mainstream manufacturers. The kits capture the evolutionary development of this important fighter with accurate details specific to each variant. These German subjects work alongside Heller, HKM, Lindberg, Pegasus, Glencoe, AMT, and Airfix Luftwaffe collections.

Modelsvit Ukrainian Expertise and Quality

Modelsvit has established itself as Ukraine's specialist manufacturer of rare and unusual aircraft subjects, consistently delivering kits with excellent engineering, comprehensive detail, and subjects unavailable from other manufacturers. Their 1/48 propeller aircraft feature precision-molded parts with accurate dimensions and surface details, detailed cockpit interiors with instrument panels and equipment, comprehensive weapons and equipment options, photo-etched brass details on select releases, clear canopy parts with accurate framing, extensive decal sheets covering multiple aircraft and markings, and detailed instructions with historical information and painting guides. The company's focus on rare and experimental subjects fills critical gaps in the modeling market, providing definitive kits of aircraft types often available only as limited-run or short-run releases from other manufacturers. Modelsvit also produces 1/72 jet aircraft for modelers working in smaller scales.
