This is the aircraft assigned to Lt. Johnny Pugh. Named GERONIMO, s/n 42-106473, G4*N. This was an early attempt at complying with an 8th AF Fighter Command directive assigning nose colors to its groups. The directive was issued on or about 23 March, 1944. The photo caption (not shown in the photo above) indicates that this particular nose color scheme probably didn't last too long. REFERENCE: Olmstead, Merle. C. 2004.

LSP_Ray Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 That's right, I remember the story now. They 'mis-interpreted' the directive and this was their version of painting the yellow and red checkered band on the nose. They were ordered to do it right and Geronimo soon had the correct band, and a bubble hatch, IIRC. I have had the Montex Mask scheme for this plane for years.

If this causes you such distress, you are doing it wrong. Radu unfortunatly, for many modelers i have met, the hobby IS the highlight of their life. And because it is, they have very limited funds to fuel it. I also hope no modeler will be involved in the development of these kits because frankly when they are, the end product is, shall we way, mixed Edited December 31, 2018 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 And knowing what Tamiya did with our original G6, it could very well be that they release their 1:32 version before ZM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32tragic Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 On the Revell P-51 D-5, I was glad Revell released this kit because I've wanted an early D (no fin fillet) to do a specific paint finish and markings (Passion Wagon) with only the cockpit and undercarriage exposed. Both the Tamiya and ZM would have resulted in the waste of many details (engine, other internals) so the Revell kit is perfect to serve as a canvas for just the paint/markings finish. I also have the Tamiya kit for a more detailed venture. There are more reasons other than price/details why people buy a specific kit. rafju, coogrfan, Bruce_Crosby and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm quite pleated with the Revell one as well. Exactly the level of detail I wanted at the right price. coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
