Geoffrey Toillié (Rogue2332) has built three P-51 Mustangs of the 23rd FG based in China in 1944-1945. These are the 1:48 scale Hasegawa kits finished with some interesting and exotic paint shemes.

very nice !
my guess is Geoffroy was inspired by the photos and artwork (Thierry Dekker) in Batailles Aériennes # 44 'The return of the Flying Tigers' - lovely images and profiles of 23rd FG P-51s

You're right, the Batailles Aériennes # 44 'The return of the Flying Tigers' was one of my references, certanly the more used

The decals for the McComas plane are from the Hasegawa boxing "Pacific Mustangs". The two other aircraft's decals are from a Skymodels decal sheet about the Mustang, they may be a little thick but are of a good quality.

Sorry, I didn't see it on this Forum. I was looking at the Homepage pictures where it is not stated.
