METAL from the Google warehouse also made this F-82 version of tthe P-51D Mustang. It’s nice that he built it, since it is so rare, although I was surprised to see that 272 were actually accepted by the US Air Force.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_mustang
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.

The Air Force accepted a total of 272 F-82s (including 22 prototype, test and early production aircraft). All examples were redesignated as F-82 in 1948. Specifically, the F-82 program consisted of two XF-82s, one XF-82A, ten F-82Bs (known for a while as P-82Zs and all allocated to testing), four F-82As, 96 F-82Es, 91 F-82Fs, 45 F-82Gs and 14 F-82Hs.

great
METAL is also one of my favorit artist on 3d warehouse
he also has a habit of calling his models just “airplaine”
like William T he has specialised in making aircraft models..

METAL is a good modeler, but so far I favor WilliamT’s. I just uploaded a couple of WilliamT’s ships and added them to your fairly new “Ships…” group. Thanks for starting that (and the airplane group)!
