New 1:48 Franklin Mint B11E329 North America P-51D Mustang Fighter Diecast Model

P-51 Mustang is known as the aircraft that changed the course of a war...Originally overlooked by the USAAF, the P-51 did not see action with American forces until March 1943. Once its full potential had been developed, the USA realized that this aircraft had been ignored for too long. With the forging of the American airframe with the British Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, it would be unmatched by any other piston aircraft of World War II.

Beutiful then, beautiful now. P-51D Mustang was the most produced model and was favoured among most pilot.
