\u00c2\u00a0The North American F-82 was initially designed as a very long distance escort fighter during World War II, however the first production units were not completed until after the end of the war.\u00c2\u00a0 It was designed to escort B-29 raids into Japan where the raids would exceed 2,000 miles (outside the range of P-38s or P-51s).\u00c2\u00a0 With the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, the F-82 was pressed into operational combat duty. The F-82 was used primarily as an all-weather interceptor and intruder. However one of the Twin Mustang’s claim-to-fame was it was the first US aircraft to shoot down enemy aircraft during the Korean War.\u00c2\u00a0 This occurred on June 27th, 1950 by Lt. William G. “Skeeter” Hudson, with his radar operator Lt. Carl Fraiser. In fact, three North Korean planes were shot down that day, all by F-82s. It was the last piston engine fighter designed for the US Air Force.<\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the reissued Twin Mustang F-82G 1:72 Scale Monogram Model Kit #85-5257. \u00c2\u00a0It is a skill level 2 plastic kit for intermediate modelers molded in light gray with clear pieces totaling 71 parts.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0It includes waterslide decals for \"000b\"<\/a> two aircraft.\u00c2\u00a0 For a 1973 mold there was surprisingly little flash although there are mold seam lines on most parts.\u00c2\u00a0 The clear parts were also nice & clear.\u00c2\u00a0 As with any older Revell kit panel lines are raised and cockpit detail is rather sparse.\u00c2\u00a0 However, after installing the pilots in the cockpits very little detail would be viewable anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 This kit features opening canopies, a choice of open or closed gun compartments, movable props, optional rockets, optional bombs, fuel tanks, a radar pod, two figures and decals.\u00c2\u00a0 Overall dimensions: Length: 6-5\/8″ and a Wingspan of: 8-7\/16″.<\/p>\n
