P-51B Mustang III

This is the excellent Academy kit in 1/72 of that early P-51fighter, equiped with Packard engine, Malcolm hood and four bladed propeller with scuffs specially designed for British RAF. They, named Mustang to that specific aircraft but was so popular that Mustang became the standard name for any P-51 variant.

The kit is a little gem, full of details, extremely easy to build and a temptation for modeller, like me, to over extend the level of weathering needed to reflect the real operational planes. Anyway, a beautiful subject at all.
