That looks stunning!
Dragon are certainly going out of their way to make each months prize special.
Excellent for Aeroscale and a fabulous incentive to get those MoM entries in.

A great prize from Dragon.
Wih prizes like these on offer, what more incentive do you need to enter MoM.
Makes me nearly wish to pack the staff job in so I can enter (not really Rowan )

Never heard of a P-6 before.

Perhaps they are referring to:
"A number of the P-51B and P-51C aircraft were fitted for photo reconnaissance and designated F-6C."
"The photo reconnaissance versions of the P-51D and P-51K were designated F-6D and F-6K respectively."
I do believe that's a camera aperture shown on the port side in the instructions.

Still a very impressive prize for MOM !!!

Hi Andy!

That was my plan too, but Rowan didn't let me!

Hi Chuck

Yes, that's definitely a typo on the artwork! It should read "F-6D". By coincidence, Dragon have sent a test-shot of the fuselage sprue today - complete with camera-ports. Here's a closer look:
