It was not built as a standard fighter at all. It left North American Aviation's plant in Dallas in 1944 as an F-6K, a photo-reconnaissance version with two K-24 cameras mounted in the rear fuselage, one pointing straight down and one to the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDallas-built Mustangs also differed in a detail most people never notice: they flew with an 11-foot Aeroproducts propeller instead of the Hamilton Standard propeller of the Inglewood-built P-51Ds. Delivered to the Army Air Forces with the serial number 44-12840, the aircraft has no reliable record of wartime use. In 1946 it was handed to the Civil Air Patrol, then passed through private owners and a long restoration in the 1980s, which is when it received its civil registration, N51EW. Cruise bought it in 2001 and flies it himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the COBI range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet 5847 is the earlier edition of this Top Gun Mustang with the same piece count, and set 5846 is the large version at 1:32 with a pilot figure and display stand.
