This folder contains five repaints for the Shockwave WWII P-51D, representing parts of the history of aircraft 44-63675. In 1945, it was assigned to Lt. Bob Bohna of the 402nd FS. It was his second P-51D to be named "Sierra Sue". The first was hit by groundfire near Hannover, forcing him to make an emergency landing just behind allied lines. After the war, she was sold to Sweden, where she flew with F4 as 26152. In 1954 she was sold to the Nicaraguan Air Force and flew as GN91. In 1970, by now being a gate guard at an air base, she was bought by Dave Allender and brought back to the US. He registered her as N5452V and converted her to a racer for the Reno air races. She was bought by Roger Christgau in 1977, who had her restored to a stock P-51D, and painted her in a combination of her Swedish and USAAF identities, which she still carries now. Repaint for the Shockwave WWII Mustang by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by John Terrell.
