[Lucky13]

Just started (well, a while ago) on two Hasegawa P-51's. First up will be P-51D-25 #44-72854, Captain William B. Lawrence Jr./Captain Alan J. Kinvig "KWITCHERBITCHIN" from 457th FS/506th FG Iwo Jima '45 and P-51D-15 #44-15011, Lt. Harold E. Whitmore 356th FG "The Lord is my Shepherd"....

More will probably follow as time goes by....

Tha..tha..that's all folks!

Looking very nice Jan.Keep working...
Could you tell me what kind of a paint you used for the wooden floor-board?

 

[Lucky13]

Whooops! I didn't slam the door in your face on my way out, did I Wojtek? Thanks buddy!

 

[Wurger]

Nop...you didn't.

 

[Lucky13]

Pheew! That's alright then....

 

[Wurger]

But what about the paint for the wooden floor-board?

 

[Lucky13]

Looks less wooden in the pics old chap, get too close and you'll get a splinter in your finger.

 

[Heinz]

[Lucky13]

Cheers lads, appreciated! Thinking about the Iwo Jima Mustang, was it common that it was more than one pilot to a machine?

Yes Lucky, unless it was Group CO's ship, most everybody in the flight would fly a specific Mustang. The pilot assigned to the ship by seniority (RHIP) had 'naming rights and would fly this ship except when damaged or under maintenance.

For example, my father always had WR-B but others would fly it when he wasn't flying that day..
