P-51B Mustang ARF
Prior to production of the P-51B, fighter escorts such as the P-47 did not have the required range and had to turn back, leaving the bombers to make their bombing runs with no fighter protection. North American Aviation went to work delivering the first P-51 prototype in just 102 days and it was a remarkable step forward in fighter performance. The P-51B could climb to 20,000 feet in under 6 minutes and fly 440 mph at altitude – faster than any other fighter plane at the time. Most importantly, it was the range of 1080 miles (a whopping 2600 mile range with drop tanks), which enabled the P-51B to escort the bombers all the way to Berlin.

The SIG P-51B Mustang ARF is modeled after the famous “Shangri-La” which was so effective in combat that Gen Eisenhower once remarked to pilot Don Gentile, “You are a one man air force!”
As you would expect from SIG, this is a show-stopper - a scale ARF model that others will land their planes to watch fly. The real fun comes when you suck up the landing gear. This is what the Mustang was born to do, race across the ground at a full gallop.

Yet, when you lower the flaps and landing gear, the model slows to an easy, predictable touchdown. Controls: rudder, elevator, ailerons, flaps, retracts, throttle. The model is hand built from balsa and plywood and expertly covered in SIG AeroKote.
