KursadA Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Modelsvit has a new tool 1/48 P-51H kit in preparation, and I will definitely do an ANG-centric decal sheet for it. Let me know what you would like to see on it. Edited October 5, 2019 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Looking forward to this kit (as well as the F-82 they're also talking about!) I'll of course toss the MASS. ANG hat into the ring...not necessarily the often seen "Irish Air Force" or the "Polish Air Force" P-51Hs but these markings with the flashy yellow trim: RS Models did one in 1/72 scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) 133rd FIS, NH ANG please. Nose, tail and wingtips are red. Edited April 3, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Another red trimmed F-51H of the 133rd FIS, NH ANG circa 1952.NH had several "flights" within the squadron, each trimmed with a different color. I've seen blue, green, and red for P-51Ds/Hs and blue, green, and orange for F-86Ls. Edited April 3, 2019 by Dutch add info Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Andy, if I wasn't so partial to the NH scheme, I'd go for the 101st FIS MASS ANG scheme! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More flashy than I had anticipated! I wonder if aircraft 464347 was a one off scheme? Commanders aircraft perhaps? I can't find any other photos of MASS ANG aircraft in those markings outside of 4347. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it's like other yellow-marked Mustangs, it's a target tow bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Hegedus Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 PA ANG 146FIS (Pittsburgh). Both the orange target tow as in the RS kit, and standard markings. 56FG (62FS), Selfridge Field -yellow spinner and fin, red/white/blue rudder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris D Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 My personal choice would be a NJ ANG P-51H. Because that's what I would want to build. Fin tip and prop spinner were in red. But if you ever decided to do another round of P-51D's a good candidate would be West Virginia ANG 44-72948. It was the last operational Mustang. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
