[RichardLouis]

Wooaaahhhh ! I like this one. Thank you Jankees.

[jankees]

well, it was you that asked for it!

here's an update:

[RichardLouis]

I do not know why, I always liked this B7-H.
(About B7-M, according to various sources, it is sometimes called "Sweet thing IV", sometimes "Sweet thing II". Did you also notice that ?).

[jankees]

I'm glad you like Frankie, please note that this is not meant as a repaint of aircraft still flying in the UK. That is painted as a combination of this aircraft and the second Frankie flown by Lt.Col. Wallace, 44-11568, a P-51K. So with the big yellow nose, the victory marks and wing stripes of the second, but with the registration, noseart, and overpainted fuselage and wings of the first.
About B7-M, yes, I did. Check this photo:

but "Sweet Thing (3 and 4)" was normally the name of the squadron commander's aircraft, Lt.Col. Roy Webb, and his normal registration was B7-W. I have painted "Sweet Thing III" for the P-51B model, and I am thinking about "Sweet Thing IV":
.
It has been suggested that they changed the nameplate once when Webb was flying B7-M for a mission, while its normal assigned pilot was Lt. Edward B. Murdy. But we'll probably never know. Anyway, I decided to leave the name off for this paint, so I could do B7-W later. I did B7-M because I liked the way they overpainted the top of the fuselage, it seems every aircraft was different in the 361st.

meanwhile, here is another one, B7-I "Duchess of Manhattan":





with the original:


Funny detail, note the noseart on "Frankie", Sweet Thing" and the "Duchess": they all have a dot before and after the name. I wonder why?

I hope you like this one as well?

[jeansy]

Nice new batch

(About B7-M, according to various sources, it is sometimes called "Sweet thing IV", sometimes "Sweet thing II". Did you also notice that ?).

good chance he might have gone through a few cough cough "loves"

[jankees]

he might...

meanwhile, I'm still tinkering with the Duchess:

[RichardLouis]

A very,very nice set. Here are three mates for Jasper and company.

[jankees]

and even a fourth:

[RichardLouis]

Here is still a success.

[jankees]

and two requested paints:

[jankees]

I'm still doing yellow noses:

[ottor]

Jankees, those yellow noses look fantastic!

If you get tired of them and want to paint a different look, how about this scheme for the Little Friends P-51K? It is owned by Dick Hourigan and Judy Pay. The paint scheme represents the first P-51K (MK IVA) operated by 3 Squadron, RAAF in North Italy late November 1944. This was the scheme of the C.O.'s plane (Squadron Leader P.M.Nash).
