INTRO

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is a long-range North American fighter with a piston engine, used in World War II, the Korean War and other conflicts. During World War II, Mustang pilots claimed to have shot down 4,950 enemy aircraft, second only to the Grumman F6F Hellcat, among the Allied fighters.

HISTORY

In 1938, the British government established a commission for the purchase of war material with the United States, led by Sir. Henry Self. One of Self's many tasks was to organize the production of American planes for the RAF. However, at that time, the choices were quite limited: none of the North American planes met European standards of construction and performance. Only the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk had come close; however, even with the Curtiss plant already operating at full capacity, there were difficulties in meeting the demand for this aircraft. At this point, the president of North American Aviation (NAA), James H. Kindelberger, approached Self with the vision of selling the new North American medium bomber, the B-25 Mitchell. Instead, Self asked if the NAA could produce the P-40 Tomahawk under license from Curtiss.

Kindelberger's response was that NAA could produce a better plane than the P-40, with the same engine, and in less time than setting up a new production line for the Tomahawk. From this unlikely start, one of the best fighters in history was created. The purchase contract was then signed in April 1940. The NA-73X prototype was shown in September 1940 and made its first flight on October 26, 1940, just 149 days after the purchase was signed, a development period considered quite fast.

    @Paul0978 ele não tem um interior detalhado porque é difícil fazer isso em aviões porque a cabine é mt pequena aí vc tem que dimensionar as peças pra um tamanho muito pequeno e é chato fazer isso, por isso atualmente eu estou focando apenas em helicópteros porque eles são mais fáceis de construir um interior.
    Mas você pode republicar ele, eu não ligo

    I believe you misunderstood what I was saying, you need to keep the core of the plane, such as fuselage and engine placement. This is a whole different build now.

    It looks good, but it wont work for the challenge, try again.
