1:285 Scale WW2 Aircraft

North American P-51D Mustang (Dorsal Fin)

The P-51D became the version produced in the greatest quantities with 7,954 being completed. The P-51D model carried six .50 caliber machine guns with a total of 1,880 rounds instead of the four guns mounted in the P-51Bs. Other refinements, such as moving the wing forward slightly and provisions for rocket launchers were included. The first P-51Ds were delivered without dorsal fins, but this feature was added to compensate for keel-loss when the bubble canopy was adopted.

The P-51D with the dorsal fin represented the most typical Mustang configuration. The wingspan was 37 feet with an area of 233 square feet and was 32 feet 3 inches long. Height was 13 feet 8 inches. The Packard-built Merlin V-1650-7 was capable of delivering 1,695 hp which provided a speed of 437 mph at 25,000 feet. Weights were 7,125 lbs. empty and 10,100 lbs. normal gross, but an additional 2,000 lbs. could be carried. Internal fuel capacity was 105 gallons, giving a range of 950 miles at 362 miles per hour at 25,000 feet.

American Mustangs destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft during the war making them the highest scoring US fighter in the European Theater of Operations. They were used as dive-bombers, bomber escorts, ground-attack aircraft, interceptors, for photo-recon missions, as trainers and transports (with a jump-seat), and after the war, high performance racers.
