Italeri 1452 - 1/72 North American F-51D Mustang Korean War - Compact scale replica

The North American F-51D Mustang earned its reputation across two major conflicts, first as the P-51 during World War II and later adapted for ground attack in Korea. Powered by the Packard V12, the licensed Rolls-Royce Merlin, the Mustang achieved high top speeds near 700 km/h. The F-51D was outfitted with six 0.5 M2 Browning machine guns and proved versatile from escort missions to close air support in the Korean theatre.

Assembly notes and display potential

This Italeri 1/72 kit captures the Mustang's silhouette and surface detail in a small footprint. Parts are arranged for straightforward assembly, producing a neat finished model that fits well in a collection or on a display plinth alongside other Korean War subjects.
