Tamiya 60323 1/32 North American Mustang model summary

The North American P-51D Mustang earned its reputation for range and performance, driven by the Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin V-1650 engine that excelled at higher altitudes. The P-51K, identifiable by its Aero Products propeller, was adapted for operations in the Pacific Theater and demonstrates the design flexibility of the Mustang family.
