Scheme 1: 'Rotation Blues' 67th FBS Korea Scheme 2: F51D 77 Squadron RAAF Korea 1951 Scheme 3: J26 Mustang, Swedish Air Force
As arguably the finest fighter aircraft of WWII, the Mustang went on to be selected as the USAF primary piston engined fighter after the war, with all other types relegated to secondary roles, or withdrawn from service. The re-designation of USAF aircraft in 1948 saw the P for Pursuit change to F for Fighter, resulting in the Mustang becoming a North American F-51D
The Airfix 1/48 North American F51D Mustang from the plastic aircraft model kits range accurately recreates the real life American fighter aircraft flown during WWII. This model requires paint and glue to complete.
