North American P-51 Mustang
Osprey Modelling Manual 19 covers the best-known US fighter of WWII - the long-range escort that made possible the USAAF's bombing of Germany by day. This classic fighter - over 15,500 built - would go on to mave a significant postwar history too. With detailed step-by-step model photography, specially commissioned walkround photography, scale drawings and wartime shots, these books will provide all the details needed to model the main P-51 version - the P-51D (nearly 8,000, over half the total number of P-51s, built) - and its variants. There is a full roundup of the models available on the market, details of where you can see the real thing, a select bibliography, and survey of websites of interest.
