Key Features of the Model

The Mustang Mk.III (P-51B/C) was the first production version of this fighter to become famous in the RAF thanks to the replacement of its powerplant with a Merlin engine – a British Rolls-Royce power unit that significantly improved the aircraft's high-altitude performance. These planes earned glory as bomber escorts during raids over Germany and in combat over France and Italy. The set includes markings and paint schemes for aircraft participating, among others, in D-Day operations and campaigns in Italy (1944 – 1945).

Why Choose This Model?

• Exceptional realism thanks to detailed parts and color PE frets that bring the cockpit and undercarriage details to life.
