North American P-82/F-82 Twin Mustang
Posted by Pampa14 on Friday, February 21, 2014 7:04 AM

The F-82 was the last propeller-driven fighter acquired in quantity by the USAF. It appears to be two Mustang fuselages on one wing, but in reality it was a totally new design. Its purpose was to provide a fighter carrying a pilot and co-pilot/navigator to reduce fatigue on long-range bomber escort missions. A lot of photos this aircraft can be found in the link:

Oh to get a decent 1/48 kit of the Twin Mustang... The Modelcraft kit is, shall we say, challenging to any and all builders reputedly...
