    P-51 had a V-12, not an inline.

    Saw a P-51 recently at Wings over Houston. Love that engine. Former boss was a P-51 pilot, he said it would junp on the runway when the engine was revved up!

    The strip takes place in the 1970’s, I think.

    P51 needed wing tanks to go the distance.

    It was the P-40 that made the tigershark nose paint famous. I never saw a Mustang with one. Quite a few are still flying, but have the weaker Packard engines instead of the Rolls Royce Merlin.

    David GBÅ: Wing tanks were standard. It was jettisonable external wing tanks that gave it more range.

    Hey @Hitomi if it weren’t for those 20th Century aircraft Red & Rover would never make it in their cardbox spacecraft.

    mightaswellbe: You are correct. I have seen one-off sharks on a lot of planes, including a Cessna BirdDog (hilarious). But none were in the nature of squadron (or larger) unit markings like the RAF and AVG P-40s. Also they had to jettison the external tanks before combat too.
