I'm very sorry guys for not having this uploaded yet! I thought I would add another repaint with it, showing the aircraft as it now appears. Here's a little rundown:
Having been purchased by Jack Croul in 2007, this particular Mustang (44-74202) was, for the most part, restored by Vintage Airframes in Caldwell, Idaho (same place that did the restoration of the Museum of Flight's P-51D (Eagleston markings), and is restoring the incredible combat-vet P-47 "Dottie Mae"). After the main airframe was completed, it was sent to Westpac Restorations, in Colorado, for fitting-out. It then came to Fighter Rebuilders for the last/final touches (such as the fitting of new (perfect) wing-to-fuselage fairings). The aircraft was finished and first flown in late Spring of 2012, finished in basic "factory" markings (though it should have an OD glare panel for accuracy (and of course less polish)). The aircraft joined Jack Croul's other, already flying P-51D (44-73420), both in factory markings (formation shots of these two together in the air were published in several warbird magazines last year). This particular Mustang was soon sold, however, to Robert Dickson Sr. and R. Dickson Jr. by late summer 2012, flying to its new home from Chino, CA to Concord, NC. Through researching local vets, they came across the story of Lt. Col. Will Ford, who is still alive, and flew with the 357th FG during WWII. The decision was then made to paint their factory-fresh Mustang in the markings of Will Ford's original 357th FG mount, which was named "Swamp Fox". Great care was taken in recreating the original markings accurately (and even removing the exhaust shrouds, as was done with the original "Swamp Fox"). This past summer the aircraft was shown at EAA Airventure Oshkosh, sporting replica 108-gallon paper tanks, and took home the "Best WWII Fighter" award. Will Ford has since been reunited with "his" aircraft again.
(On a slightly related note, Jack Croul's other P-51D (44-73420) was also sold, a few months ago, and is also now based on the East coast, owned by Andrew McKenna (who is keeping it in factory markings).)
Here's a depiction of how 44-74202 looks today. This will be included with the factory-marked version, so that you can fly the aircraft in both schemes (then and now). ; )
... SO
