Airfix - North American P-51D Mustang™ - 1:48 (A05138)
A thoroughbred fighting aeroplane, the P-51D Mustang was
produced in greater numbers than any other variant and introduced a number of
improvements over earlier models. With a new wing design, teardrop canopy and lower
rear fuselage, the P-51D was the mount of many USAAF aces and became the primary US
fighter in the European Theatre, following its introduction in mid 1944.
