Airfix 1/48 Scale North American Mustang Mk.IV/P-51K Mustang Model Kit HISTORY: The North American P-51 Mustang is one of the most iconic American fighters of the Second World War. Designed to fulfil an RAF specification, the Mustang was transformed once the Rolls-Royce Merlin was installed. The P-51D model’s long range and excellent firepower made it a superb escort fighter, able to protect the bombers all the way to Berlin and back. The P-51 is recorded as being the top-scoring Allied fighter of the war, with 4,950 enemy aircraft destroyed. In 1948, the type designation for the Mustang changed to F-51D, and it continued in USAF and RAAF service as a ground attack aircraft through the Korean War.   MODEL KIT SPECIFICATIONS: Scale: 1:48 Number of Parts: 136 pieces Length: 205 mm Width: 236 mm   Please note: This is a plastic model assembly kit.
