Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant F-82 Twin Mustang model plane made from mahogany wood. The process starts from carving the fuselage of the F82 Twin Mustang plane and the intakes on the fuselage sides to the P82's aircraft cruciform tail design, to the assembly and final polishing of the F-82 mustang model. The rich color paint scheme and markings of the actual F82 Twin mustang aircraft are cautiously painted to the assembled P82 Mustang wooden model replica.
The North American F-82 Twin Mustang was the last American piston engine fighter ordered into production by the United States Air Force. Based on the P-51 Mustang, the F-82 was originally designed as a long-range escort fighter in World War II, its postwar role changed to that of night-fighting. Radar-equipped F-82s were used quite extensively by the Air Defense Command as replacements for the P-61 Black Widow night fighter. During the Korean War, Japan-based F-82s were among the first USAF aircraft to operate over Korea. The first three North Korean aircraft destroyed by U.S. forces were shot down by F-82s.
