This is a Trumpeter 02283 1/32 RAF Mustang III (P-51B/C)

It took only 120 days from the British request for development to the completion of the prototype aircraft production and assembly. The Royal Air Force referred to the new aircraft as the "Mustang".

In December 1943, the P-51B joined the British station in England. The 354th Fighter Wing of the 9th Army of the United States Marine Corps began its legendary service career. At the same time, another part of the P-51B was assigned to the 12th and 15th Army Aviation Corps in Italy.

Before the P-51D officially enters service, the P-51B has been one of the main models of the American Army Aviation in the European battlefield. Part of the aviation team even kept equipped with this type of aircraft until the end of the war.

During the entire war, the missions performed by the Type B fighters accounted for 1/3 of the missions performed by the entire P-51 family.
