Tamiya 1/48 North American P-51D Mustang 8th AF Scale Model Kit

The Greatest Fighter of WWII

The P-51D Mustang is considered by many to be the greatest fighter aircraft of the Second World War. Powered by a British Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine, its exceptional range and performance allowed it to escort Allied bombers deep into enemy territory. So capable was the design that the P-51 has even been used in air racing to this day.
