Daywalker Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Having found a photo showing P-51K "Ferocious Frankie" in later markings, and seeing a 1/48 decal sheet from Kagero I would like to add this one to my collection. Has anyone ever seen these markings in 1/32, whether decals or paint masks? I know markings for P-51K's are relatively rare, but I would like to build this one if I can source some markings for it. Kagero 48th scale decals Thank you! Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The K was 44-11568, which replaced the D (44-13704) after it had a take-off accident on 9th November 1944 while being flown by Lt. Collins J Mayeux. http://www.littlefriends.co.uk/361st-fighter-group/ Alas, I can't help with decals, but have you thought about masks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Thank you for stopping by gents, sorry I should have mentioned that I knew about those "D" markings! MikeC - I am all for masks, but don't have the ability to make them myself. I could probably cut out the code letters and possibly the serial numbers, but the nose art is beyond my capabilities. Do you know anyone who could do masks for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could between us find a clear image of the nose art I'd offer to have a go myself, but as I'm the other side of "the Pond" from you, I fear the postage would be prohibitive. You could try asking on the paint masks forum, perhaps there may be someone in the US willing to have a go https://www.scalemodelpaintmasks.com/ CRAZY IVAN5 and Daywalker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten about the paint mask forums, if I can find a better image perhaps I'll try over there. Thanks again! MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I think John will be over the moon. Once a p-51k is announced of course Shoggz and nmayhew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
