Bud's other "Old Crow"Airfix P-51D

July 13, 2024 · in Aviation · · 8 · 170

I realized just now that I never posted a full article on 's other "Old Crow," the P-51D-15 he flew during his second tour with the 357th.

I did this with the P-51D when it came out back in 2015. I had the "Old Crow" decals in the Tamiya P-51D release "Aces of the Eighth."

Additions were Eduard seat belts. The whitewalls on the tires were hand-painted.

Now I have my matched pair of Bud's Mustangs.
