P-51D (early).jpg
P-51D (early).453 viewsThis early model P-51D, serial number 413597, HO-F, is called "The Moose" of the 352nd Fighter Group

This model is a combination of kits. The tail of the aircraft is from a P-51B. The remainder is a P-51D. I discovered that one cannot simply remove the vertical stabilizer fin strake and have an accurate early model P-51D. You would also need to rescribe most of the fuselage panel lines aft of the strake. The P-51B tail assembly panel lines match right up. I would really love for Tamiya to create an accurate early P-51D model. There are many excellent early P-51Ds to model. It would fill a very much needed gap for this aircraft.
