Juggernut Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Just a guess but it may be 77th FS, 20th FG. Edited January 21, 2019 by Juggernut Shawn M and Azgaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I started one of those in the eighties but gave up ( I still have it) so I will be interested in what can be made of it. Cheers Dennis BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 I haven't planned anything extra for this kit, except rescribing. I have one already started with spares from the Trumpeter kit, but that one is too far gone to participate here. Is there any US ground crew or pilots available, preferably not too expensive? Perhaps I can use the MB kit with the friendly fight boxers or those dating civilian ladies, but not sure how I connect it to D-day!

Shawn M Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 if you can find any of the 21st Century Pilot figures they are great. Toss a "Wanted" add in the Traders Section, someone will have a figgy for ya. BiggTim and Azgaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks for the tip Shawn! Yeah their pilot figures are quite nice! A lot easier to find ground crew and stuff in 48th and 72nd. Håkan BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonGUSA Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Zuki-muria makes ground crew figures for their P-51D 6 or 7 different ones. They have German and Japanese ones also. Ron G Bill_S and Azgaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for the tip, Ron! I'll check them out! Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
