You were correct as usual sir. She was Maj Ed McComas' ride for the 118th TRS "MISS REVENGE"

Seems like they used markings like that in "Empire of the Sun" on the Mustangs that flew over the camp   "Cadillac of the Skies!"

A pretty bird :)

I highly doubt it Slash. IIRC we have a skin very similar to those already.

yeah we do, it's listed as #5 for the B model. 118TRS/23FG

Yeah, I was flying her a little tonight and forgot we had her. I really love CBI/PTO Air Force Skins. I hoped we could get a few snuck in there with our '51 B/C. Wish there was a way for these skinners to see their work used instead of being shelved for God knows how long. These guys do us all incredible work and Id hate to see them jaded and give up on it.

I know there's a real nice PTO skinned D from the 39th FG in waiting. I'd love to see that one included as well. The 39th FG doesn't have any mustang skins in the game. We need at least 1 for me  :lol

Because a P-51C is a P-51B, except built in Texas instead of California.

It would be like a RAF fan saying, sure, we have the Spitfire Mk XVI, but we really need a clipped wing Spitfire LF.MK IXe as well.

Then why do we have the P51B? We should have the P51C. Everything is better in texas.

Not in the CBI.  No Malcom hoods there.  They got Mustangs later then most and were happy with any they got.  MTO didn't have the Malcom either so the coffin hoods remained.  Common to see a mix.

One of my favorite 51 photos from the ETO.  D models, B/C with a Malcom and a B/C with the production canopy.  359th FG, November 44, so late in the game and the mix continued, which it did until the end of the war in the ETO, although obviously the razorback 51B/Cs were much fewer as they were out of production and mostly war weary by that time.
