The file contains separate parts for flying and standing versions; however, the propeller alpha map must be manually loaded in the material/opacity channel for the fly version. This model has 132,460 polygons and 8,509 vertices, consisting of 31 objects. It comes in OBJ, LWO, FBX formats (version 2010), with a file size of 21 textures, two materials, and one alpha-map. The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a single-seat long-range fighter aircraft that played a crucial role in World War II as a bomber escort, ensuring Allied air superiority from early 1944. It also served with Allied air forces in Europe and saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the main fighter for the United Nations but was later relegated to ground attack roles due to the arrival of jet fighters. Despite this, some air forces continued using it until the early 1980s.
