Cavalier TF-51D 67-22581 United States Air Force

These are 1/72 scale decals for Cavalier TF-51D 67-22581, in United States Air Force markings as part of Project Peace Condor, prior to delivery to the Bolivian Air Force.

The Cavalier TF-51D was a modernized two-seat trainer variant of the legendary P-51 Mustang, produced by Cavalier Aircraft Corporation in the late 1960s as part of U.S. Military Assistance Program (MAP) efforts to equip allied and friendly nations with capable, affordable combat aircraft for counter-insurgency (COIN) operations.

Project Peace Condor was the specific MAP program under which refurbished and newly built Cavalier Mustangs were supplied to Bolivia, providing the Bolivian Air Force with a modern COIN capability during a period of significant internal security concerns in South America. Aircraft like 67-22581 wore USAF markings during acceptance and pre-delivery testing before being transferred to their new operators.

This pre-delivery USAF scheme represents a fascinating and rarely modeled transitional moment in the Mustang's long international service life.
