1:72 Scale
Measures 5.25" nose to tail x 6.25" wingspan
This was a US-applied version of the standard RAF Day Fighter Scheme finish comprising Olive Drab and Sea Gray upper surfaces over Light Gray under surfaces. No.112 Squadron's famous shark mouth is on the nose. This was the final piston-engined aircraft type operated by 112 Sqn, the Mustang IVA (P-51 K); a mixture of Mk.lV's (P-51D) and IVA's were operated from February 1945 until December 1946. The Mustang IV's and IVA's were used alongside the remaining Mk.lII's mainly in the ground attack role with bombs, though they did also fly longer range missions with fuel drop tanks underwing. After a period in Northern Italy on occupation duty after the war's end the Squadron was disbanded at Treviso on 30th December 1946.
