The Tamiya 1/32 North American F-51D Mustang Korean War (60328) reproduces the P-51D (redesignated F-51D in USAF service) in its Korean War configuration — the second act of the legendary long-range fighter pressed back into frontline service as a ground attack aircraft over the Korean peninsula. The F-51D flew from South Korean airfields providing close air support and interdiction, suffering significant losses to ground fire due to its liquid-cooled engine's vulnerability, but proving indispensable to the Allied war effort.
Tamiya's 1/32 kit includes Korean War-specific markings and ground attack weaponry appropriate to the F-51's role in this conflict.
Kit highlights:
Accurate 1/32 F-51D Mustang in Korean War ground attack role
