Mustangs served in nearly every combat zone, including the Pacific. Over 14,800 P-51's were built by North American Aviation. During the Korean Conflict, P-51D's were used primarily for close support of ground forces until withdrawn from combat in 1953. These beautiful handmade airplane models are authentic replicas made from the finest grade of select kiln dried Philippine mahogany wood. From the handcarving of the fuselage, wings and tail section, to the sanding of the aircraft's contours.
Every part is assembled precisely into place.
After shaping and sanding, the model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before it is hand painted to duplicate the actual colors, emblems, and insignias of the original historical aircraft. Finally, multiple coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect the artwork and provide an overall glossy finish.
