there’s just something about Princess Elizabeth that appeals to me, maybe it’s the rarity or perhaps the colour scheme, anyway great that it’s in the UK for a while,
I’d love to get some 1/48 decals for it but it seems no one does them:apologetic:
you look at them and lose sight of just how much money is required not only to buy the aircraft but the cost of keeping it running, it makes my blood run cold, I doubt my credit card would cover it!!!!
great impressions, an interesting point, were the Mustang III painted in standard RAF colours or the different US equivalent colours that were available where they were built
It’s not that it has been done to death on restored airframes but overall in general. As a builder of scale flying models I can tell you that the “Shangri La” scheme is very prominent and it seems just about every manufacturer of B/C model Mustangs chooses that paint job for their product. Pretty sure it has been done to death on plastic and display models as well. It is much the same story with Ira Kepford’s Corsair and Alex Vraciu’s Hellcat schemes. Of course if you’re not involved with model aircraft of any sort than your perspective will probably be very different!
very interesting I’d read that the B/C were more stable than the D due to the side area and that the early Ds were not very nice until they fitted the strake to the fin, didn’t know about the guns before
