This is a cool one from burma, based on some No.258 squadron a/c.

Here are some SBD-3s I've been tinkering with for awhile. The first is in early war markings.



The second is based on some a/c at the Battle of Midway.



The last is based on a/c from the Ranger during Operation Torch.

At that awkward age where your brain has gone from " Probably shouldn't say that" to
"What the hell, let's see what happens"?  Me too.

This is a P-51 from the 31st FG in the MTO.





This is a cool picture with a mustang from each P-51 group in the 15th AF.



Three DarkWolfs in one place, this is SO much like SKAT's dreams it's not funny....

If three DW's in one place was a dream, then it would be a nightmare.  Oh wait they already made a movie likie that..something to do with Elm street and a guy named Kruger.(Names were probably changed to protect other Canadians)

_AH_DarkWolf

Me thinks thou doth protest too much SKAT.

Here's another 51 in later war 4th FG markings with the red nose enlarged and curving back.



And a later war 361st FG 51.

Here's another 8th AF bird, this one from the 79th FS of the 20th FG. Kinda strange "piano key" group marking. The 20th previously used P-38s and retained bomber style tail markings from their 38s on their 51s.

After looking at all the late war 8th AF P-51D group markings and how many I'd done, I thought it would be cool to do them all. Some of em are kinda plain and not much to em, some of em are gaudy as hell but alot of em are pretty cool lookin. There were always some variations amongst the squadrons within a group like the shapes on the tail and the color of rudders and other bits. I've also been getting into putting accurate squadron codes on planes instead of DW.

Wicked DW!! At first glance I thought you'd found pics of Pony's operated during WWII and were planning to make one of each... Then I had a close look. Wow dude!!!
