1/5 Scale Almost Ready-To-Fly Sport Model

WWII's "Little Friend"—as an ARF Giant!

Called "Little Friend" by the bomber crews it protected, the P-51 Mustang also became known as the Cadillac of the Sky — one of the finest high-speed, high-altitude fighters built during WWII. Top Flite's giant ARF version fulfills your own fighter pilot fantasies with impressive size, power and maneuverability!

• All-wood construction, with prepainted fiberglass and ABS parts plus clear canopy, aluminum spinner, and cockpit kit.
  
  
• Available MonoKote-covered to recreate WWII's "Big Beautiful Doll," flown by Col. John D. Landers or as a ready-to-cover (RTC) model so you can create your own trim scheme.
  
  
• Large dimensions allow for a generously sized radio compartment, making installation of on-board radio gear hassle-free.
  
  
• Already set up for flaps and optional retracts with functional landing gear doors.

Prebuilt, MonoKote-covered main sections feature built-up, fully sheeted wood construction. The cowl and wing fillets are made of prepainted fiberglass. Painted ABS parts provide more realistic detail, as do the supplied aluminum spinner and ABS cockpit kit. Assembly can be completed in as little as 25-30 hours!

Top Flite includes fixed, heavy-duty wire landing gear, but also has set up the model to use optional Robart retracts with functional landing gear doors. To make future upgrades easy, retracts install using the same bolt pattern as the fixed gear.

The Giant P-51D Mustang ARF's realistic appearance, impressive size and fully symmetrical wing turn a trip to the airfield into an opportunity to fly spectacular sorties! Match it with the U.S. Engines 41 cc gasoline engine (USEG0041) for the power to execute dramatic dogfight maneuvers.
