This repaints depicts a P-51C Mustang MkIII. FB247 GA Q, with early razorback style canopy.
UPDATE OF THE P-51B_249Sq_GN-V TEXTURE INCLUDED !
Some History :
This maybe the plane of Flt. Lt. Raymond Vincent Hearn, 102547 , RAFVR, No.112 Squadron,
Fano, Italy, during February 1945. Hearn flew two tours with No.112 Sqn on Kittyhawks and
Mustangs. He was the leader of B Flight and used the individual letter "Q" on his aircraft.
He downed a Ju 88 in this machine on 9 September 1944, even though only one of his four guns
was working. He was killed on what would have been his last sortie on 18 February 1945, in
KH820 GA-Q a later Mustang MkIII with the Malcom hood, his plane exploding after being hit by
flak. The letter "Q" was not used again as a mark of respect.
Information from a 112Sq web site. Sent in by Peter Izzard, Grandson of ground crew member
Arthur Master.
As usual it's a standalone based on the P-51B Mustang Flight Model made by JERRY BECKWITH
and KERRY CLEMENT (Klass_o_44) for the 3D external Model and 3D Cockpit.
