This is a Plastic 1/48 WWII F-51D Mustang Airplane from the Korean War.
                           It's made by Tamiya.

After WWII it appeared that the North American P-51D's days in front line use
were limited because of the advent of the jet age.  The conflict in Korea
brought the aircraft out of reserve and back into action but as the F-51D.
Tamiya's rendition of the Mustang builds up into an impressive, highly detailed
1/48th scale replica with accurate interior and exterior detail.  High quality
water activated decals are included for three aircraft.

FEATURES: Highly detailed 1/48th scale plastic kit for static display
          Approximately 60 parts in medium grey and clear with fine recessed
            panel lines.
          Accurately captures features of F-51D: wings, prop, and armament.
          Multi-part canopy may be posed open or closed.
          Main wheels have separate hubs for easy painting.
          Highly detailed cockpit with accurate instrument panel, seat, control
            stick and rudder pedals, bulkheads, and sculpted pilot figure.
