Ian treats us to his build of the ICM Mustang in the very colourful markings of 442 Sqn RCAF at the end of the European war.

Ian, just a rock solid build. Your paint camo scheme looks fantastic. Decaling looks just like it was painted on. The yellow nose is something I'm not use to seeing, so my eyes keep on going back to it.

Joel and Rowan, thanks for the kind words. Joel, I agree with you and really thought the yellow stood out on this scheme. The Caribous flew a mix of camo'ed and NMF birds and "Edmonton Special" was specially adorned with the yellow skunk stripe. Anyway, thanks for looking.


Regards,


Ian

Ian, a super model! I appreciate the 'lightly used' appearance contrasting the dirty fingerprints around the weapons bays -- looks like this low-time airframe has seen lots of action!
