Bad Cat Toys Review:

Unlike older versions of the 1:18 P-51, this plane boasts silky smooth wings and fuselage that closely resemble the full-scale bird. The landing gear length and rake have been painstakingly reproduced with great accuracy--a feat not previously accomplished in this scale. We like it!

From the Manufacturer:

“Petie 2nd” flown by Lieutenant Colonel John Meyer, Commanding Officer of the 487th Fighter Squadron – 352nd Fighter Group (Eighth Air Force) who collected two kills in this brightly colored bird.

The North American P-51 Mustang was an American long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of the Second World War and became one of the conflict's most successful and recognizable aircraft.

The P-51 flew most of its wartime missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, and helped ensure Allied air superiority after 1944. It also saw service against Japanese air forces in the Pacific War.

The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter, but was supplanted by jets by the conflict's end. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
