I was going to use my Tamiya Mustang 3 (RAF 112th) for the "show your teeth" campaign but changed my mind...Any suggestions on markings/ decals (1/48th) for either the 354th FG or any other non bare metal paint schemes for the P-51 B? Thanks...N

whitewall tyres as well. Truely the cadillac of the sky! The Rolls Royce of course being the Spit,,and as Mal says,,"you just cant have too many Spitfires"
It's not the same, better, but not the same...

Hi Nigel!
This picture is very interesting! The plane seems to smile I always liked Spitfires in Desert Scheme with American Stars. I think it makes the Spit look even better than the usual camo schemes... Do you have more reference pictures about this plane? Sorry if I am

Nigel, I’d say stick with 112 Squadron for your Mustang III. I was going to do one (see the campaign thread), but then realised that you had dibs (first choice) on the 112 Sqn Mustang. Since then I’ve found, and started working on, another idea.

Eric, no worries...it gave me an excuse to research another airplane & rethink one that I've had sitting around...for me that's half the fun!
Jean-Luc, I thought you might like this Spitfire, especially after seeing the great tropical Spit on your website. I'll have more pictures etc. soon but I'll post them on the "show your teeth" thread...until then check out... www.31stfightergroup.com/31stReference/Reference.html ...N
