Description

Rare & Unusual Paint Schemes P51

Captured P-51B (serial unknown), redesignated Kennueng T9 + HK.
In 1943, Hauptman “Ted” Rosarius was tasked with forming a Versuchsstaffel of captured enemy aircraft that would serve to familiarise pilots of the Reichsverteidigung (German Air Defense) with the strengths and weaknesses of Allied Fighter aircraft. This unit, the 2nd Staffel of the Versuchtverband Oberkommando der Luftwaffe (Trials and Research Unit of the Luftwaffe High Command) received all of the captured aircraft. Once those had been thoroughly flown and tested, they wer flown to different frontline units. This unusual formation became known as the Wanderzirkus Rosarius (Rosarius’ Travelling Circus).

A derivative design of Marek’s 1/50 scale Spitfire models, this model has been redrawn and modified with this historic livery.
The kit also features other upgrades like photorealistic elements and simulated landing gear wells.
No cockpit and paper canopy provided.
Kit contains basic assembly diagrams and internal formers.
