Mustang GB 112 Sqn 1

Description

The North American P-51 Mustang was designed for the RAF early in WW2. It entered combat service in 1942.

Fitting Mustangs with the Rolls Royce Merlin engine made a good fighter into a great one, and with the addition of drop-tanks the allies had the long-range escort fighter they needed so badly.

The Mustang 'B' was armed with 4 x 12.7mm machine guns, and could also carry drop-tanks or bombs.

This example is a P-51B (Mustang III) of 112 Squadron RAF 1945.

Looks amazingly sleek from this angle. The added stabilizing fin (which I suspect was retrofitted?) helps.
That radio equipment looks heavy btw ^_^

Thanks for bringing this one to us :thumbsup:
