Description
Hobby Master HA7708 depicts a North American P-51D Mustang in Netherlands East Indies Army Air Corps service, dated 1945 on the box label. The reference highlights the post-war transition of these Mustangs, including the serial changes noted and their later handover to the Indonesian Air Force (AURI), giving this release a less common operator story compared to typical USAAF or RAF subjects.
A great choice for a WWII to early post-war display, ideal if you like Mustangs in unusual markings and want something different on a 1:48 shelf.

Grading
Grading Criteria
Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.
Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.
Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.
Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.
Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.
Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.
Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.
Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.
If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
