The P-51D was a fighter pilot’s dream!
With a top speed of over 430 mph, a service ceiling of 42,000ft and a 1300 mile range, the marriage of the V-1650 Rolls-Royce Merlin engine built under license by the Packard Motor Car Company and the superb North American P-51 airframe became a world-beater.
Able to escort the USAAF bombers for their entire mission, P-51 pilots were tasked with flushing out the German Luftwaffe from their home bases and eroding their numbers.
This 680mm wingspan replica is finished in the colors of the one flown by Major William “Bill” Price of the USAAF; 353rd FG; 350th FS, based at Raydon in Suffolk, UK 1944-5.
Such is the scale detail on this great little model that it comes complete with its own desktop display stand for showing-off when you’re not flying it!
The model has full 4 channel control on ailerons, elevator, rudder and throttle; a scale 4-bladed propeller, exhaust stacks, antenna mast and cockpit detail, together with a scale pilot figure.
The surface detail underneath the dark earth/green camouflage enhances the already fine looks of this iconic fighter.
For simplicity and weight saving the P-51 has no undercarriage fitted, providing a perfect solution to the need for a quick mission over the local park!
The plug and fly format of this model only requires a few minutes of assembly time, even a screwdriver and velcro are included!
All you will require to have this Mustang in the air is a 2S 650~850mAh 20C LiPoly battery and your own transmitter and receiver.
