P-51D "Obsession" 35cc ARF radio-controlled thermal aircraft with electric retractable landing gear

P-51D "Obsession" 35cc ARF radio-controlled thermal aircraft with electric retractable landing gear.

The "Obsession" livery interprets the USAAF scheme in metal with a painted overlay camouflage.

This covering scheme not only represents how this Mustang appeared at the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in 2007 but also includes the previous markings that Obsession wore in the 1990s.

Vivid and colorful, this stunning livery will make a striking impression not only on the ground at a Warbirds gathering but also in flight during low-altitude passes.
