Phatzo thats the P-51K. It only served in the Pacific so HTC won't model it. He said as much at the 2008 CON. Pity though, think of the firepower.

You're mistaking the "P-51K" for the "P-51H".  The P-51K was nothing more than a P-51D that was built in Dallas with the Aeroproducts propeller.

what, so you can HO with them?

srsly, the performance loss would be noticable, and that kind of hitting power would make it far too tempting.

spit MkVII squadrons in south Asia  would use the 4 cannon package in the E wing for attack sorties that had been planned . the wing would use a mixture of 4 X 20mm and 2x 20mm 4 .303 armed aircraft in such sorties  .  obviously it would take a day or so to revert the converted aircraft back the the standard Ewing configuration after the missions.
