Eli Raphael Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hi guys, We are just starting a set(s) for this a/c. We would like to know which markings you'd like to see that haven't been done before. We have chosen some, like Shomo, McComas, Creamer's Dream,Freddy Orr and Mahurin. Now is the time to place in your votes. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 "Detroit Miss" from the 361st. Lt. Urban Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I always liked "Blondie" of Don Allen's work for the 334th (red nose) coded QP-U serial 73304. It was flown by Lt. Marvin Arthur. I have a few references if you need them, more are on the web. Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcolagu Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Definitely : Miss Marilyn II, Miss Welma and CY N (No nick) all of the 55th FG. Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Wrangler Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Some Pacific Theatre birds such as on Iwo or some for F-51D's used in the Korean War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 How about Freddi Ohr's "Marie" from the 52nd FG-very colorful!! Also, I will make a pitch for John Voll's "American Beauty" from the 31st FG. These are aircraft from the 15th Air Force, which in my opinion, has been poorly served in the 32nd scale decal arena.

Barry Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Some Pacific Theatre birds such as on Iwo or some for F-51D's used in the Korean War. I like the Korean War idea; not many options out there for the "Forgotten War"! How about Col. Dean Hess's F-51D Photo from National Museum of the U.S. Air Force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hi: Are you planning P-51B, D or both? Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 If you are planning a P-51B, I am not aware of accurate markings for Gentile's P-51B from the 4th FG. I can supply photos to get those markings correct. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Another P-51B is Ralph Hamilton's Francis B Too from the 352nd FG. George Preddy flew the aircraft on occasion. Again, I can supply photos, as I can if almost any Mustang from the 352nd is considered. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I DEFINITELY would have voted for Ed McComas's ship, but looks like you already are planning that one...........so Onward and upward Eli! Cheers, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'm going to break my long and proud history of lurking, and, being a P-47 fan, not look down my nose at the Mustang, at least for this post. I'd really like to see a set for all of Don Blakeslee's Mustangs. He was a great leader of a great fighter group, and I've never seen his mounts represented. Back to lurking. -Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I agree with Barry. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 If you are considering the B variant, how about Beantown Banshee, Bonnie B or Shillelagh from the 354th. Since this was the highest scoring unit in the ETO on the Mustang,there seems to be a severe paucity of decals (except for Ding Hoa)for this Group. I love the 8TH AF birds, but they weren't the only groups that scored well. New decal schemes for the D would also be welcome from these units.
