Airfix has released a 1/48 scale Mustang Mk.IV
As the North American Mustang was developed as a direct result of a British Air Ministry requirement, it is somehow fitting that the RAF and Commonwealth air forces used the aircraft extensively during WWII. The British designation for the later P-51D version was Mustang IV, with the Dallas built P-51K, which used a different Aeroproducts propeller, referred to as the Mustang IVa.

There are two marking options:
●KM272 ‘Dooleybird’ 19 Squadron RAF 1945
●KH676/CV-A Flg Off A F Lane, 3 Squadron RAAF Cervia Italy, April 1945

A05137 - North American Mustang Mk.IV – 1/48

They actually went as far as to rip off the theme from the Matchbox box-art LINK Not that I dont like it

It's not a rip-off, it's an homage

I agree with Jessie, a very nice homage that brings back some great teenage memories. Now I feel compelled to purchase this kit sooner or later, and that is the primary intention of Airfix idea.
