Is anyone able to identify the model (and date/year of active service)
of the following P51s? (and how do you tell!)

http://triptpolers.houseoftucker.com...ohour/zh72.jpg

They appear towards the end of the Star Trek - Enterprise episode
"Zero Hour" - one of the NX01 shuttles are attacked by them...

(Now they could be fake - as no-one is sure whether the NX01 shuttle
is in the past or an alternate future)


I'm no expert and will inevitibly get something wrong here but they look
like late war P-51Ds. Heck, they could even be Korean era.

Assuming the CGI/FX people attempted to include some reality reference I'd
start by checking out the markings . Perhaps "JAS" was a real aircraft?
Check for color markings and see if you can get a match. Looks like a
yellow spinner with a red tip and rear checker board....
