Product: 1:32 North American P-51D Mustang
The P-51 Mustang is considered by many to be the best fighter aircraft
of WWII. The P-51 Mustang came about when the British Purchasing
Commission asked North American Aviation to produce the Curtiss P-40 for
the RAF, but North American stated they could build something better.
The P-51D is considered by many experts to be the definitive variant of
the Mustang as it was the most widely produced. It featured a bubble
canopy which gave the pilot superb all-round visibility as well as a
heavier armament of six 12.7mm machine guns. Wing racks allowed the
carriage of drop tanks to extend range or bombs for ground attack.
P-51Ds were instrumental in helping the Allies gain air superiority over
Europe, and after Germany's defeat, they continued their role as
long-range escorts for B-29s attacking Japan. Many also saw service
during the Korean War as fighter-bombers and a few even continued to
serve with air forces of less developed nations until the 1980s.
