ITA0086   Italeri   1/72 P-51D Mustang 

TECH NOTES
      This is a Plastic F-51D Mustang U.S. Fighter Aircraft from Italeri.
                       For modelers age 10 and over.

     The Mustang is one of the world's best known airplanes and was without
doubt the best fighter plane of World War II.  It was built in record time in
1943 for the European campaign and was well suited to fight the BF-109s and
FW-190s of the German Luftwaffe.  It was subsequently used against the Japanese
Forces in the Pacific theater.  Very maneuverable and of noteworthy range it
also proved to be an effective ground attack fighter, even though the inline
liquid-cooled engine was vulnerable against enemy light arms.  During the
Korean War, despite the new jet fighters, it was extensively used for troop
support missions.  In some instances it was also used to interrupt enemy supply
lines.  It effectively fought North Korean and Chinese MIG-15 jets.
