If that is indeed the sprue depicted, it looks like 1/72 or maybe 1/48.

Yup. If for no other reason than it isn’t another 109, 190, mustang, etc.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

And your problem with Mustangs is..? :ballbat: (I jest obviously -it's always nice to see something not of the norm to be kitted by a majour manufacturer).

Possibly, who knows?

I measured the picture in Photoshop. Taken a typical Tamiya sprue gate is about 3mm (0.118") the part shown could be anywhere between 2 - 3cm (0.787 - 1.18") wide. I don´t know, but this could indicate a 1/32 scale.
