James Howard's P-51B Ding Hao

[Tullis Aviation Art]

Here is my finished profile illustration of James Howard's Ding Hao. Profile notes: At this point, Howard's P-51B retained the early style canopy and also had the ground bombing mirrors installed on the N-3B reflector gunsight. The white vertical tail recognition stripe would eventually be painted over (presumably around the time the Malcolm Hood was added, as this was also the point the fuselage codes were repainted in a non-stenciled format.) Note the small sliver of white paint showing on the forward edge of the exhaust shroud, this is correct and not a mistake on my part (see attachment below).

Very nice work. I responded to your query about posting pics so hopefully it will help.

Very nice work. I have the Monogram kit and I've checked the kit against your art work and I think Monogram got the serial number and the stenciling wrong.
