The p-51 mustang was a solution to the clear need for an effective bomber escort. The mustang was at least as simple as other aircraft of its era. It used a common, reliable engine and had internal space for a huge fuel load. With external fuel tanks, it could accompany the bombers all the way to germany and back. Enough p-51s became available to the 8th and 9th air forces in the winter of 1943 –44

For the ultimate, realistic flight experience, the p-51 comes with all-metal mechanical spring-loaded strut assemblies. The p-51 comes out of the box with all kinds of details that have been finished for the consumer, including a factory-painted fibreglass cowl, scale antenna, scale-shaped spinner, and much more.
