Hollis Hills was an American flying with the Royal Canadian Air Force, and this aircraft, with Hollis at the stick, was the first Mustang to score a victory, over an FW-190, above the beaches of the disastrous Dieppe raid, a dark day for [...]
I built this model some years ago. It was painted with Testors rattlecan and I think the color was Racing Blue. Also, this was my first attempt at using Slixx decals. The actual race car with this paint scheme was used in a couple of [...]
