    This is a plastic 1/72 P-51B Mustang Airplane made by Academy Plastics.
                        It's for experienced modelers.

     The first Allison powered P-51's were good airplanes, yet they lacked high
altitude effectiveness against bomber escorts.  That changed when the basic
P-51 airframe was mated with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine to create the P-51B.
This engine change resulted in a superb aircraft which many argue helped to
change the course of WWII.

FEATURES: Detailed 1/72 kit for static display only.
          65 parts in green and clear with fine recessed panel lines.
          Accurately captures features of P-51B: razorback fuselage, wing, and
            canopy.
          Cockpit includes seat, floor, radio rack, instrument panel with
            raised detail.
          Separate exhaust stacks - 2 styles included.
          108 gal paper drop tank and rocket tubes included.
          Standard and Malcolm Hood canopies - both can be posed open or
            closed.
          Detailed landing gear and wheel wells.
