Cheers / André Polish 309 Sqn was equipped with Mustang Is in 1942. Using one of them F/O Lewkowicz on 27/09/1942 conducted unauthorized attack on Stavanger to show the range of the Mustang.

Denford Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Could somebody with a good knowledge of P-51s say if there is an Alison-engined variant that has the wings of the B/C ? That way would it be possible for Arma to 'reverse engineer' such a variant in the same manner as they have produced an F4F from am FM-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I was hoping for some USAAF MTO decals.. but there are RAAF MTO decals, so I'm happy anyway ! Glad to see the louvre slats of the UK among the parts, a welcome touch. Overall this really looks like a quality package. Not unsurprisingly considedered Arma's previous kits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Interesting decision not to include any VIII AF options on the decal sheet. I'll be holding off for the cheapest boxings anyway (please don't delay those for too long!) , so not a big deal. It's not like I don't have a metric shedload of decals for Mustangs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colour options were chosen to include wide national markings selection, different camos and most of aeroplane variants. Not all fit decal size, sorry. Next boxes will include other units.

Elkin Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Really looking forward to this as I will need quite a lot for all my decal sheets, also looking forward to the D/K version. One question though, why did you do the panel lines on the wings? It's a real pain filling these all the time. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojtek Bulhak Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 “A P-51C with the charming name “Evalina” was the first and, as it turned out, last fully airworthy North American Mustang to be captured by the Japanese. Intensive tests followed by demonstration flights at combat units convinced both veterans and commanders of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force that their most recent “acquisition” was a truly fantastic aircraft – the fulfilment of every fighter pilot’s dreams.” Read a remarkable story of the aeroplane in the latest #armastory article by Jarek Jaworski on the #armahobbynews website: link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
