Virginia Belle P51
« on: February 24, 2009, 07:27:51 PM »
I want to try a make a skin to submit and I'd like to do this one. Is there anyone that knows anything about this P51? So far all I can find is this picture. It's called the "Virginia Belle" and flew in the PTO I believe.

PTO for sure, that's a B-29 engine in the pic.

Researching the Mustang outfits on Iwo Jima might be a good start for you.
