About the P-51D-5 Mustang

The P-51D-5 Mustang represents an early production block of the iconic “bubble canopy” Mustang variant. These aircraft featured the revolutionary Malcolm hood-style canopy providing exceptional visibility, paired with the powerful Packard V-1650 Merlin engine. Early D-model Mustangs like the -5 variant initially lacked the dorsal fin that would become standard on later production blocks, making them visually distinctive. These fighters served with distinction in both the European and Pacific theaters, escorting heavy bombers deep into enemy territory and achieving air superiority.

Marking Options

Four authentic WWII schemes are included, representing P-51D-5 Mustangs from various operational units during the height of the air war over Europe and the Pacific.
