21ST CENTURY TOYS

**ONLY ONE LEFT! THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION**

This warbird model is painted in the markings of "Bunnie" the personal mount of Capt. Roscoe Brown, the first ever 1/18 scale model of a 332nd Fighter Group (Tuskegee Airmen) P-51. The "Red Tails" were made famous by becoming the first all African American fighter group to train as pilot officers in the U.S. Army Air Corps. The pilot skill and fighting excellence that these brave young men displayed during WWII made them one of the most reliable bomber escort groups in the entire European Theater. The many successes of the unit made the Tuskegee Airman an unforgetable icon of military history. The North American P-51 was an American long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of WWII and became on of the conflict's most successful and recognizable aircraft. The P-51 flew most of its wartime missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, and helped ensure Allied air superiority after 1944. It also saw service against Japanese air forces in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' mainfighter, but was supplanted by jets by the conflict's end. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980's.
