The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of World War II. The P-51 flew most of its wartime missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944. It also saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter, but was relegated to a ground attack role when superseded by jet fighters early in the conflict. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.

This, unfortunately is nowhere comparable to a Dragon 'Stang. My copy has loose parts that don't fit right, the shape of the forward fuselage and propeller is no good , the overall construct ( is bad, and so on. To be fair, It does looks pretty, the details are somewhat good in their own right, and Dragon's own models aren't exactly flawless. It is just in my personal view that I made a better investment with Dragons' - They have clearly put more effort and care into theirs, which makes their prices all the more worth it.
