Description
Plastic scale model 1/72 aircraft P-51D MUSTANG Italleri 0086
The North American P-51 Mustang is an American single-engine long-range fighter and attack aircraft with a classic tail and all-metal construction. The flight of the prototype took place on October 26, 1940. The P-51 Mustang earned a reputation as one of the best, if not the best, fighter jet of World War II. Replacing the Allison V-1710-39 engine from the first project with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine (a version of the P-51 Mustang Mk.Ia) made a Mustang that had never before achieved perfection. The single-seat fighter impressed with its maximum speed, flight range, maneuverability and powerful weapons. The combination of all the most important parameters for the purpose of evaluating the aircraft allowed the "Mustang" to show itself in every role assigned to it: gaining air dominance, escorting, performing reconnaissance tasks, and striking ground targets.
