Tamiya 60328 1/32 North American F-51D Mustang Korean War

Tamiya 60328 North American F-51D Mustang Korean War in 1/32 scale depicts the iconic American fighter aircraft that was modernized after World War II and re-deployed during the Korean War. The original P-51D designation was changed to F-51D to reflect the aircraft's new role as a close air support combat machine.

During the Korean War, the F-51D was still an important element of the U.S. Air Force and the South Korean Air Force, even as jet aircraft such as the F-80 Shooting Star and F-86 Sabre began to dominate air combat. Because of its long range and ability to operate from less advanced airfields, the Mustang was often used to attack North Korean troops, bridges, and supply routes. The aircraft was armed not only with its standard six 12.7 mm Browning machine guns, but also with bombs and unguided HVAR missiles for effective ground strikes.

This Tamiya model offers superb detail and excellent workmanship, including:

• Detailed cockpit with authentic instruments and controls
• Realistic Packard Merlin engine that can be assembled with open cowls
• Authentic weaponry, including bombs and HVAR unguided missiles
• Accurate landing gear and surface paneling, faithful to the historic machine

Precision engineering and large scale make this model the ideal choice for modelers interested in Korean War aviation and post-war Mustang deployment.

The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
