ACA12303 - Academy - 1/48 P-51B Blue Nose" ex Accurate Miniatures" 

The P-51B Mustang “Blue Nose” is a 1/48 scale reproduction of the early Merlin-powered variant of North American’s legendary World War II fighter, as operated by elite USAAF units such as the 352nd Fighter Group in the European theatre. Famous for its distinctive blue engine cowl markings and long-range escort performance, the P-51B played a crucial role in achieving Allied air superiority over occupied Europe during 1944–45. This Academy release is based on the highly regarded Accurate Miniatures tooling, known for its fine detail and accurate early Mustang shape, making it a favorite among WWII aircraft modelers.
