Manufacturer: Gemini Aces
Scale: 1/72
Availability: US Flying Mule Exclusive
Release date: August 2012
Price: $USD35
This P-51C release is exclusive to The Flying Mule(US distributor & retailer). Priced at $35, it is a great bargain compared to other brands that have increased price for their models. The paint and finish of this model is great, however it does suffer from poor fitting of landing gears at times, loose flaps for some and a terrible display stand. But still, for the price, its still a great item and still the best P-51B/C's in 1/72 scale.
This aircraft represents pilot Lee Archer of 332nd Fighter Group. A lot more and inspiring information can be found elsewhere about this famous group of 'coloured' USAAF airmen. This is one of the best P-51B/C's that Gemini Aces has released.
Here is a figurine of the pilot produced by Corgi as part of their 'Forward March' series
