Tamiya - 1:32 North American P-51d/k Mustang Pacific Theater

DESCRIPTION

The legendary U.S. Air Force P-51D Mustang originally used a Hamilton Standard propeller, but shortages forced the U.S. to fit some models with an Aeroproducts propeller. They were renamed the P-51K and mainly assigned to the Asian Theater. The P-51K and P-51D possessed both speed and the ability to fly long-range missions, and could serve as bomber escorts or attack enemy ground installations themselves. In addition to the fighter role, some P-51s were equipped with cameras and used as reconnaissance aircraft. Such aircraft were based on the P-51D and designated the F-6D.

This kit offers its purchaser 3 plastic model options: the P-51-D; the P-51K (predominantly served in Asian Theater); and the F-6D reconnaissance aircraft.
