I'm new to this website, so I hope I'm starting in the right place. I'm looking for information on one particular F-6D Mustang. The F-6D I'm looking for information on is "Shady Lady" of the 109th TRS, 67th TRG, I think that a few others and I have zeroed in on the serial number being 44-14699. I've also found this about the serial online: 44-14699 (F-6K, c/n 109-28332) to Swiss AF in 1948 as J-2093. I'm trying to figure out what her code letters were during the war VX-?. I have pictures of "Shady Lady" I can share, from during and post WWII, I just don't know yet (haven't looked in the FAQ) how to post pictures on this website. I want to submit this recon bird to Kits World Decals for them to make model decals for the 1/32 Tamiya P-51D/K to make an F-6D with it. I like this bird because she's a recon bird with nice nose art too. I have a soft spot for fighter/recon birds of all nationalities from WWII. I have plans to build a lot of them, Mustangs, Spitfires, Bf 109s & Fw 190s.

Please let me know if we have the serial messed up and if anyone can enlighten me on the last letter of her Squadron code.

Thanks for your time,
Brady


Welcome to WIX. You may get more responses by starting a new thread specifically about Shady Lady.

I did find this though,
