Looks familiar..

Erickson Aircraft Collection has restored a G10 with an Allison Engine engineered to fit the original cowling and exhaust ducting.  She just did engine runs and is working toward flight status..

Ingenious fitting of the Allison but that paint scheme being on the wrong airframe does not impress me.

It's Graf's no?  Well. Sorta.

[Devil 505]

It's Graf's no?  Well. Sorta.

It's the Jg 50 scheme from 1943 on a G-10 airframe from late '44 at the earliest. It would be like painting a P-51D like "Ding Hao!" Yeah, it's a Pony; but not close to the right one.

Red yellow they both kick arse Devil

You guys really should have checked your calendars. 

April Fools!

Here's the real skin with a yellow cowling and rudder:







I was telling a squaddie yesterday about the skins I had just finished and reflecting on Vraciu's P-51 when the idea to make a prank version hit me.

Very cool.

I built a 1:72 109F-2 from Zvezda - wonderful kit. Too bad I lost the spinner before I could paint it.
