I've got at least another 13 from JG 301 to post up, gotta find it first

well this is not the one but a different Dora this time from 7th staffel, yellow 13, no trim color on it. wrk nummer 210 919 in combat with Mustangs of the 479th fg on 14 February 1945. Oberfeldwebel Helmut Stöber shot down over Leipzig. this is one of 3 Dora-9' s from the Jg that I am researching with German contacts. I find no claims by Stöber during the war.

It isn't? Do you have profile of the machine Wayne, showing correct colours?

Edit: Is this wrong as well then? Aircraft illustration

AFAIK the Lucky 13 part was written in chalk just prior to takeoff. "Watch my form" being the 13th a/c assigned to fly that particuar mission.
If anyone knows who makes them in 1/48, please drop me a link, as it's one of my favourite P40's

It says that it's Tally Ho! Decals, but I can only find them, with the "Lucky 13" in 1/72 from them....even though the article says it's 1/48.

Cheers, though 72 is out of my league! I'll be sure to advise you if I find them in 1/48.
BTW HU-N also carried this nose art. I can't remember which was first though.
