Special Hobby have rereleased their 1:72 kit of the Twin Mustang with decals for Alaskan-based aircraft.

The twin-engine F-82 fighter aircraft became famous for its participation in the Korean War. But Twin Mustangs also served in the USA. Especially in Alaska, they formed the backbone of the fighter defense of the USA until the arrival of superior all-weather fighter jets. The threat of Soviet bombers with nuclear weapons on board was very topical at that time. For service in the harsh north, the already built F-82F and F-82G aircraft were modified and designated F-82H.

The Twin Mustang model includes four sprues of injection-moulded parts, injection-moulded canopy hoods, detailed PUR parts and etchings. The decals offer four Alaskan aircraft, two of them in black, the remaining two in Alaskan anti-camouflage finish, i.e. aircraft in natural metal with wing tips and tail surfaces in red. Two of the aircraft have underwing fuel tanks decorated with drawings of bald eagle heads.
