P-51B Mustang™ China/Burma/India, plastic kit 1/72 scale.
The aerial battle over Europe can see all important at times. No less important and interesting, however, were the battles against the Japanese in which Mustangs took part in areas including China and Burma. In the so-called CBI Theatre (China-Burma-India), the way aviation was used was very different from Europe. Instead of large strategic air strikes, tactical operations consisting of supporting ground troops, defending them from enemy aviation, attacking ground targets and reconnaissance predominated. In such a role, too, the fast and powerful Mustang proved itself admirably, thanks to its high payload, becoming an effective assault and even dive bomber, armed with a variety of bombs and rockets, able to operate safely without an escort!
