The F-51D and the reconnaissance RF-51D Mustang are upgraded versions of the famous P-51D fighter from the Second World War, adapted by the US Air Force for a wide variety of roles during the Korean War. From 1950–1953, the Mustangs took part in many key operations as escort fighters, ground-attack aircraft, and reconnaissance machines, proving their reliability against increasing numbers of enemy jets such as the MiG-15. These aircraft took part in intensive front-line operations, carrying out ground attack missions, photographic reconnaissance, and providing support for UN forces.

The Eduard DUAL COMBO set allows you to build two complete models – one in the fighter version and one in the reconnaissance version, with a wide selection of markings for units operating in Korea. The set also includes photo-etched parts to ensure a high level of detail. Masks help you accurately recreate markings on the canopy and propeller spinner. Eduard is renowned for excellent casting quality, precisely rendered detail, and intuitive assembly instructions.

Eduard 11161 Korea DUAL COMBO US F-51D & RF-51D Mustang 1/48 is not only a historically authentic set but also a great base for painting, weathering, and personalizing your WWII/Korea/Cold War collection.
