353rd FG P51C Mustang info

OK here ya go.

Bellied in after the engine quit due to fuel starvation on May 2, 1945.

The Little Friends website lists the pilot as Lt. John E Davenport

It was bellied in by Lt Henry Pletz.

It is definately a combat bird and the clues are easy to spot.  It has tail warning radar installed.  The photo on Little Friends shows it with 108 gallon DTs.  It has a letter not a number as the War Weary's had.

It would be a great addition to the AH B/C Ponies.

Note the hand painted 363 on the rudder.
