Finally it arrived, this kit I've been waiting for a long time so thanks Eduard for creating this kit, my first look at the kit is very positive, nice plastic surface and rivet details are fantastic, and the resin 3d prints' quality is superb which I was a bit concerned after seen their previous quality sets, so very Happy about it! The subject: P-51C-10-NT, s/n 42-103454, Lt. Albert L. Young, 318th FS, 332th FG, 15th AF, Ramitelli, Italy, January 1945 This P-51C originally flew with the 325th Fighter Group and sported a yellow-and-black checkerboard pattern on its tail. It was nicknamed "Stonewall". After being transferred to the 'Tuskegee Airmen', the 332nd Fighter Group gave it a new paint scheme and it became the personal aircraft of Capt. Crockett. He named it 'Daisy Mae', after the golden-haired character from the popular comic strip. The aircraft was lost on 21 January 1945 near the village of Opatovice, close to Rajhrad in the Czech Republic. The pilot, Lt. Albert L. Young, was killed in the crash, the cause of which remains unknown. I was lucky to receive some relics from this plane from my Czech friend Pavel some years ago so that's why I chose this scheme here is a link to Pavel's website with information and pictures related to "Daisy Mae" here: http://www.leteckabadatelna.cz/havarie-a-sestrely/detail/480/- 54 replies
