Commonwealth Mustangs

[Tako_Kichi]

I just finished my first camo repaint for the P-51 after spending days fighting with the paint kit, some parts are really difficult to locate but now I have one done I can use it as a basis for more.

This one is a paint for the 'Vintage Wings of Canada' P-51 which is currently flying the NA airshow circuit. More info can be found here.....

Three more Commonwealth Mustangs rolled out of the paint shop today, this time for the RNZAF. All three aircraft are from the early 1950's as the Mustangs ordered just prior to the end of the war didn't arrive until just after the war ended and they were immediately 'mothballed' for six years or so.

2 Sqn RNZAF.

3 Sqn RNZAF

4 Sqn RNZAF

I will get them uploaded tomorrow.

Gotta love the bare metal paints. The bloom DLL thing that was recently released makes them shine even more. Can't wait to try em out.

I fancied a change from painting roundels and came across this little beauty while researching my other paints.

I just finished yet another Commonwealth P-51. :isadizzy:

This repaint depicts an aircraft of 112 Sqn RAF based in Cervia, Italy in May 1945. 112 became known as the 'Shark Squadron' after they first painted their Kittyhawk (P-40) aircraft with the shark mouth logo while serving in the Middle East. 112 Sqn got the idea from German Bf110s of the Zerstörer Geschwader 76 seen in Europe. This imagery was later adopted by many Kittyhawk/P-40 units and was perhaps most famously applied to the AVG aircraft in Burma and China. 112 Sqn continued with the theme when they switched to the Mustang Mk.III and IV.

I will get it uploaded later today.
