Awesome! What a nice change to see a Mustang in NMF with authentic, flat paint. It really adds such realism to the scheme.

Yay, for no silver paint and flat OD paint!!!! :D

Great job Mike, Dave and all others.

Some of the unique details that went into this one raise the bar yet again.

I'll let Mike VB name names but he's a VERY nice gent who is a X-Navy fighter pilot now in SA and appreciates history!!!
Jack Ilfrey would be proud of what they've done!!!
BTW Mike said the P-38 and Spit mirror are soon to be added. Also coming is something never seen on a restored warbird but I'm sworn to secrecy :shock:
