Space pal, sorry for the late reply, been working all weekend and not had time to pop in here.
Mustang looks fantastic and matches all my reference material just fine.
Can't wait to try it out pal, nice job and thanks for the repaint ;D

That looks great Space Ace pal, nice job. Only thing that may need changing are the C Type roundels as I'm almost certain it should have B Type above the wings (I'm using the Dragon Wings 1/72 dicast model to base that assumption on) other than that, it's just fine!

not really, if u look closely under the wings on the profile u sent me the roundel is different.

The one on ur pic is a P-51K Mustang from 3 Squadron RAAF from Fano Italy circa 1945.

as bonus, ive also finished this other repaint, i finnaly got the noseart done :P :)

Image

now, can u guess the squadron, pilot name and nacionality?? ;D

Space pal, that shot shows the under wing roundel and that is C Type. The B type roundels were used on upper wing surfaces. However, after Jan 1945 all (or most as some units did not bother) RAF/RCAF/RAAF etc. aircraft serving with second TAF had C or C1 type roundels applied to upper wing surfaces, so your repaint is probably correct. Whatever, it still looks fantastic! ;D
Anyhow, "Y2" code letters were used during WW2 by 442 (Canadian) Squadron. I have no idea who flew your Mustang though!
