Here is it, my
"Cripes A´Mighty", Maj. George E. Preddy´s last and most beautiful
Mustang!
I always loved those
"Blue Nosed Mustangs" from the 352nd FG and the story of this special
plane and its pilot has just caught me, for this is the plane that the highest
ranking Mustang Ace died in!
On Christmas Day
1944 Preddy was shot down by friendly ground fire as he was chasing a German
FW-190 at treetop level...

Another one that was
built OOB. But the decals are from EagleStrike. I always wanted to build this
plane and was glad, that ES came out with its "Blue Nosed Bastards of
Bodney"-series. I had planned to use a resin cockpit and wheelbay on this
projekt, but I wanted to release it on Christmas Day 2004 in the "Modellboard"
a German modellers forum, so it went out OOB with the aftermarket decals.
Paints are from
Revell Germany and Tamiya, completely brushed for I still got no airbrush...
Greetz,
Kai
