Pre-production photos, HA8502, RCAF Mustang III.

Hobby Master 1/48 Air Power Series, HA8502, Mustang Mk. III, 9G-E, 441 Squadron, RCAF, May 1945.

For those of you waiting for the much modified P-51B/C wing, this is NOT it!!! What it is, is a P-51D wing with 4 guns. It still has the prominent wing leading edge fillet of the 'D' model. Does it look like a P-51B/C or Mustang Mk. III? Most certainly not!!!

It is a pre-pro so it may change... In addition it still has the 'D' model undercarriage mounted landing light and the camouflaged exhausts need some attention.







If you're wondering what the big deal is, this photo clearly illustrates the difference between the B/C wing (right) and the D wing (left).
