ED11159 - Eduard

The North American P-51 Mustang is an American, single-engine, long-range fighter and attack aircraft constructed in all-metal with a classic tail. The P-51 Mustang has earned a reputation as one of the best, if not the best, WWII fighter.

Originally built with the American made Allison V-1710-39 engine, it was later updated to the much faster, Rolls Royce Merlin engine and the plane became faster, more manoeuvrable, had better range and weapons were more capable.

The combination of all the most important parameters for the assessment of the aircraft made the Mustang perform well in virtually every role entrusted to it: it gained air superiority, escorted, carried out reconnaissance missions, attacked ground targets.

The class of construction is evidenced by the fact that the Mustang remained in active service until the 1970's. One of the most important versions was the P-51D, based on the P-51B. It received a drop-shaped cab fairing, ensuring excellent visibility, and a new engine - Packard V-1650-7, which significantly improved performance. 

This is a Limited edition kit of US WWII fighter aircraft P-51D Mustang. Scale 1:48.
From the kit, you can build Mustangs with or without dorsal fin assembly flying with the four Groups (31st FG, 52nd FG, 325th FG, and 332nd FG) from the 15th AF during WWII from Italy.
