Airfix 1/72 P-51D Mustang vs Bf109F-4 Dogfight Double Plastic Model Kit

In what would often be a very personal dual fought in the skies above Europe between airmen from Allied and Axis air forces, the struggle for aerial supremacy raged throughout the Second World War. But the summer of 1944 witnessed the introduction of the new 'D' variant of the North American Mustang. Arguably the finest fighting aeroplane of the entire war was now hurled against what remained of the Luftwaffe, a force which included less experienced pilots and older variants of the famous Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter. In capable hands though, the Bf 109F Friedrich was still a deadly adversary.

History

During World War II, fierce battles for air dominance took place over Europe, with Allied and Axis pilots engaging in intense personal duels. In the summer of 1944, the new 'D' model of the North American Mustang was introduced. Considered one of the best combat aircraft of the war, it was deployed against the remnants of the Luftwaffe, which included less seasoned pilots and older models of the renowned Messerschmitt Bf 109. However, in skilled hands, the Bf 109F Friedrich remained a formidable opponent.
