Here's some photo's of one of my latest, an Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Mustang 1a converted into a Mustang Mk 1 at the time of the Dieppe raid. It's AG470, RU*M as flown by F/O Hollis Hills (an American) flying with 414 Sqdn, RCAF when he scored the first Mustang victory over an FW-190. I used the Ultracast resin conversion set, an Ultracast seat and fishtail exhaust, a set of decals produced by IPMS Canada, and some scratch building. It's painted with Tamiya acrylics, and weathered with oils and pastels. Hope you like, Colin Not AG470 (RU*M), no photo's exist to my knowledge, but representative ...

I'm working on converting the Accurate Miniature Allison engined Mustang 1a to a Mustang 1 (using Ultracast's conv. set). I'm planning on making AG470 RU*M of 414 Squadron at the time of Dieppe (flown by F/O Hollis Hills). My question is this. Regarding the yellow leading edge markings, I have profiles that indicate the yellow leading edge continued from tip to wingroot (interrupted only by the guns) and also that the yellow ran only on the outboard wing only (tip to the landing light only). Would anyone know which is correct, half span or full span? I've found that at the time of Dieppe, no camera was fitted, and the chordwise I.D. stripe must most likely yellow (as opposed to red) but can find nothing definitive on the leading edge. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Colin
