Yes, that is Frank's painting of the Doll. He gave us a bunch of lithos to pass out at the '95 AW con.

Hiya Frank,

Nice job on the P-51. Don't feel too bad about the decal on the wrong wing. Take a look at the P-51 at this link for a LOLOLOL.

The prop "weathering" isn't really off base by much. Remember that cosmetics weren't a priority in war time. One point IS off on it, the tips show much less weatherng than the blades. They should match a bit more to the rest of the blades.

Overall it looks pretty darn good.

Cosmetics in gerneral were not important. Especially during busy times like BOB and whatnot.

Only, the usual exception is flight critical parts. Including the prop. If the prop were "worn" that bad it wouldn't be just the pain, it would actually represent the metal being eaten away (like flying through a really bad sand storm, for example), and would be changed out before the plane was listed as servicable again.
