Title: Capt. Roscoe C. Brown - P-51D "BUNNIE"/"MISS KEN..." (7) - 332nd FG, 100th FS v2
Post by: Vraciu on January 31, 2021, 07:56:53 PM

After a Red Tail formation photo shoot with Oboe I decided to do an update to this one.  It's another skin that really benefitted from Perdue3's input.     :salute

Capt. Roscoe C. Brown
P-51D-15-NA "BUNNIE" / "MISS KENTUCKY STATE" (#7)
S/N 44-15569
100th FS, 332nd FG
Italy - 1945

This is the P-51D-15-NA named "BUNNIE" / "MISS KENTUCKY STATE"* (s/n 44-15569) of the 100th FS, 332nd FG, 15th AF based in Italy, coded No. 7. It was the mount of Capt. Roscoe C. Brown who flew 68 missions, scoring two victories (1 FW-190, 1 ME-262) and served as the unit's Squadron Commander.  He earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Congressional Gold Medal, and a Doctorate Degree.

Known as "The Red Tails" and "The Red-Tailed Angels" due to their distinctive markings, the 332nd served with distinction in World War Two as the first aviation unit in which black aviators saw combat action.

*The name "BUNNIE" is on the left side of the cowling and "MISS KENTUCKY STATE" on the right.

I've gotten a real kick out of comparing these updates to previous efforts.

Before:

(Note - Yes, the pilot figure was drawn properly https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,393816.msg5224960.html#msg5224960  but in this shot it was still the default.)
