P-51C Mustang Model Kit

The Academy 1:72 North American P-51C Mustang is a plastic aircraft model kit of the famous aircraft used in the second war and is still argued as one of the greatest fighters of its time. The replacement of the 1,100 hp Allison V-1710-39 engine in the original design with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine brought the Mustang into the realm of excellence. This single seat fighter plane excelled with its deadly weaponry, high speed and long range maneuverability. This combination made the Mustang unparalleled as an escort fighter, interceptor and ground attacker. Also used for reconnaissance missions, the Mustang proved its worth by staying active around the world well into the seventies.
This kit includes decals for 3 versions of the P-51C as flown by the USAAF and CAF.
