North American F-51D Mustang Korean War (1:32 Scale)

Details

The P-51D Mustang is viewed by many as one of the most successful aircraft of WWII, but this unique design with laminar flow wing still had plenty to offer after that conflict had ended. In 1950, by now having been re-named the F-51D when the U.S. Air Force was separated from the Army in 1947, it was called into action in the Korean War; airfields on the Korean peninsula were ill-suited to jet aircraft and the F-51D still had the necessary range and ordnance to roll back the years and do the job as a front line fighter.

This kit is produced in pre-coloured plastic so additinal painting will be required. We recommend the use of Tamiya Glue to construct this kit.
