History:
The P‑51B Mustang introduced the Merlin engine and Malcolm canopy in 1943, radically improving high-altitude performance. Known in British RAF service as the Mustang Mk III, it flew bomber escort and ground‑attack missions. This Arma Hobby kit commemorates four celebrated WWII fighters flown by American aces over Europe. ()
