This model represents the P-51D of Lt. Cyril W. Jones, who was k.i.a. Sept. 12th 1944 while strafing an airfield here in Coburg / Germany, where i live. When i heard of this crash, i tried to find out so many informations i could get.

The Kit is Tamiya's well known P-51D, to which I added the very high detailed Aires Resin Cockpit, which fitted very well to the Kit. I used different Alclad II Aluminiumcolors. The Decals are stolen from various AeroMaster and Superscale-Sheets.

Weathering was done the old fashioned way by oilcolors, airbrushed Tamiya Smoke and very strong dilluted flat and semi-flat coats.
