I'm not so sure it's a "N" model. Ithinks it's some variant of the "D"model

look at the wing tip

In this picture you can see that the N's wing tips are squared off. This is just an obvious difference.

For info on the difference between Thunderbolt models:

Here it is in its previous paint scheme:

The yellow is still visible on the new pics.

They have a P-51D there too.
And a La-11 and Yak-11.
