This is our second mini
group build (see A Pair of Tiffies in the
ARC gallery) using the 1/72 Academy
P-51 B/C. Ken built his OOB and used a Techmods decal set to represent a Mustang
III flown by Wing Commander Stanislav Skalski from 133rd Polish Fighter
Wing. I built my Mustang with a couple of modifications to
represent the type flown by 441 Sqn RCAF. Louvers were scratchbuilt to
replace the cowl breathing vents as well as a whip aerial with
fairing found on RCAF Mustang III's. I used the IPMS Canada 441
Sqn decal sheet and spare roundels for the markings.

As usual,
we had fu n with
these builds. I can't say enough about the Academy kits, easy
to build and great detail. The Techmods and IPMS decal sheets
were both excellent to use.Now we need to pick another kit to build.
Thanks for looking.
