It went on to become an outstanding long-range fighter; ultimately powered by the famous Rolls Royce Merlin engine and having a laminar flow wing it was capable of escorting bombers deep into the heart of enemy territory and back again. To say that the Merlin powered Mustangs were successful would be an understatement. The P51 became one of the aviation world’s elite, a total number of 14,819 Mustangs of all types were built for the U.S.A.A.F and Mustangs destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft in Europe to make them the highest scoring American fighter in that arena. They were used as dive-bombers, bomber escorts, ground attackers, interceptors, photo-recon missions, and after the war high speed high performance racers. However during recent years there has been a strong swing towards restoring the surviving Mustangs back to their former glory with authentic markings of the period. This P-51D Mustang from Hangar 9’s is an accurate representation of such a Mustang: “Ferocious Frankie” This fully built up model is constructed from CNC machined plywood and balsa wood parts which results in a rugged lightweight model. Reinforced in high stress areas such as the landing gear mounts and main bulkhead it’s covered with Hangar 9 UltraCote® and sports a complete set of authentic markings. Being 90% pre-built it can be “combat ready” in as little as eighteen to twenty-two hours. A set of high quality, metal mechanical retracts with working oleo legs have been engineered especially for the Mustang and a pre-painted fibreglass cowl that fits flush with the rest of the fuselage adds to the outstanding scale appearance. Also featured in this great model are moulded "Merlin" exhausts stacks, a pre-painted canopy, and additional scale details not usually found in ARF models such as working flaps, dummy bombs and a scale four bladed propeller for static display use. The flying characteristics of this Mustang are exceptional. Having both scale looks combined with the flight performance of a sport plane it’s capable of emulating the flight characteristics of the full-size; high "G" dog fighting turns, low level strafing runs and the most beautiful slow victory rolls you could wish for. All part of the fantastic Mustang flying experience
