Academy 12338 - USAAF- P-51 'North Africa

Academy 12338 – USAAF P-51 “North Africa” in 1/48 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing the iconic American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft in service with the USAAF during the North African campaign in World War II. This version depicts early operations in desert environments with distinctive camouflage and markings.

The kit includes detailed cockpit, landing gear, armament, external stores, and authentic decals, making it ideal both as a standalone display model and as part of realistic WWII dioramas.
