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

Academy 1/48 Spitfire XIVc and Bubble Canopy
An old Academy mold kit that became synonym with KMC resin set to correct the shape of the nose, rudder and spinner.
Two kits are presented here. Yet, I had only one KMC set. The Bubble Canopy PR Griffon Spitfire was scratch made using [...]
Airfix 1/72 Shackleton MR.2
A great aircraft and a very good kit. The only problem that I had with construction was the fuselage halves seam that was not easy to fix. The decals did not preform well and needed additional solvents to settle in place.
Airfix 1/48 Lightning F.2A/F.6
One of the best Airfix models I built. Although it has some fit issues, the model is an excellent representation of the Cold War fighter.

This build was one of my fav, togeather with Airfix Wellington. All fits with only minor issues (main gear flaps need a little sanding in montage pins)! Very Fun Build! As usual I used aftermarket decals to make 489 RNZAF squadron, [...]
