{"product_id":"north-american-f-51d-mustang-korean-war","title":"North American F-51D Mustang Korean War 1\/32","description":"Considered by many the most capable WWII fighters, the Mustang was also active in the Korean War, and this model creates one such F-51D. Renamed from the P-51D to the F-51D to go along with the creation of the US Air Force, the Mustang seemed set for gradual retirement as the jet aircraft took centre stage. With the outbreak of hostilities on the Korean peninsula, however, that all changed. United Nations forces were hard pushed in the early stages of the war, and USAF P-80s were unable to land in areas where there were frequently no proper runways. The F-51D stepped in and performed admirably in a ground attack role as the United Nations forces pushed back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(1, 125, 197);\"\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/32 scale plastic model assembly kit.
