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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications and Features\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/32 scale assembly model kit of the North American P-51D Mustang.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall Length: 308mm, Wingspan: 354mm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe unmistakable form of this famous aircraft is accurately reproduced based on actual design drawings of the aircraft as well as thorough study of actual examples of the aircraft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComes with the necessary parts to enable depiction of early-production and late-production P-51D, including:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 types of tail sections (with and without dorsal fin)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3 types of canopies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4 types of rearview mirrors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 types of instrument panels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 types of seats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 types of engine exhausts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControl surfaces (ailerons, flaps, elevators, and rudder) are all movable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagnets allow easy attachment\/detachment of the ultra-thin engine cowlings even after assembly to showcase the detailed Packard Merlin V-1650 engine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParts are included to allow depiction of landing gear in retracted or deployed positions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanding gear tyres are made from solid rubber and feature accurate tread patterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComes with a display stand to depict the aircraft in flight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA set of photo-etched parts is included to depict details such as seat harnesses and the oil cooler.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 types of drop tanks included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComes with 2 pilot figures (1 seated, 1 standing) and 3 types of distinctive decal markings.
