Howdy chris1,

If you want something a little challenging, how about this?

The good thing about modeling is that you are basically in control. With that in mind, design your own nose art, as you would have flown it if you were there.

What about a Tuskegee bird (332FW)? I haven't seen too many of them around. Accurate Miniatures have been threatening one for a while ...still waiting.

How about an Israeli P-51 from 1948. I have not seen many modeled and there are decals available for that era.
