Does anyone have any photo's of Mr. Friedkin's A-36 from the early to mid 80's when it was O.D. over grey with invasion stripes and a solid yellow nose... I seen the one picture that's in the warbird registry and even though I'm not sure if it's authentic it still looks sharp and I'd like to see other angles and photo's if anyone has any... Thanks, Mike

:shock:

I assume the cannon and fairings are fabricated, right? AFAIK there are no surviving Mustang Mk.IA's. (nee P-51-NA's)

Neat. I've never seen it in that scheme before.

Speaking of Freidkin's A-36, what's the latest on it? Is it still in pieces in the POF hangar at Chino? Anyone know when work will start on it?

It is in work and completely blown apart at this moment. Not sure how high of a priority it has.
