Introduction
The razorback P-51B Mustang was the first Mustang
to match North American’s sleek airframe with the
awesome power of a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. It
was this Mustang that gave the Allies their first truly
capable bomber escort and Luftwaffe pilots their first
taste of things to come.
The E-flite
® Platinum Series P-51B Mustang 32e ARF
expertly captures the look and feel of this landmark
WWII fighter with a scale outline so faithful to form as
to be practically indistinguishable from the real thing.
Every detail has been pushed to the limits of model
size and engineering with features like concealed
pocket hinges, airfoil-shaped tail surfaces, aluminum
painted spinner, and a painted fiberglass cowl that
blends seamlessly into the fuselage.
You can push the scale realism even further with
options like electric retracts, a full depth cockpit, static
4-bladed propeller, and functional bomb/drop tank
wing mounts. The model has been designed to accept
all of these options with minimal modification. And
when you’re done, you will have a competition-level
scale Mustang that will make every flight unforgettable.
