Benevolens Magister
The F51D is the same aircraft as the P51D, apart from possibly some updated avionics. The US changed the designation P (for Pursuit) to F (for Fighter) shortly after the end of WW2. The Italeri kit's box art shows the markings of the USAF (not USAAF) as worn during the Korean War, when retired Mustangs were brought back into service as ground-attack ships. Note the red bar in the National Markings, not used with the Star and Bar during WW2.
