Hasegawa 02020 P-51D/K MUSTANG PACIFIC ACES COMBO (1/72)

Hasegawa 02020 P-51D/K Mustang Pacific Aces Combo is a unique double pack set in 1:72 scale, dedicated to aviation enthusiasts of the World War II era. The set includes two models of the legendary North American P-51D and P-51K Mustang fighters, which played a key role mainly in the Pacific, serving with the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).

The name “Pacific Aces Combo” refers to the flying aces who achieved air supremacy over the Pacific islands in 1944-1945 piloting the Mustang. The P-51D and P-51K were modern variants of the Mustang, recognizable by the use of a three-blade propeller (in K - by Aeroproducts), streamlined “bubbletop” canopy, and heavy armament consisting of six 12.7 mm machine guns. Mustangs gained renown escorting B-29 bombers over Japan, as well as taking part in reconnaissance missions and ground attack operations.
