The Academy 1/48 P-51B Blue Nose model commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion with a faithful representation of this famed USAAF fighter. The kit highlights the Mustang's role in securing air superiority, and captures the aircrafts speed and manoeuvrability that pilots relied on in combat.
