D-Day P51B/C 1/48 scale Revell

[Sherman 18]

I'm in with this Revell kit, been sitting in the stash.

Kinda the look I will go after

Yeah this one

Really like this one with all the different colors. Not sure if I have or know what the correct markings.

Those two are the same aircraft.

First set of markings is this one:

Then it had the blue added along with the eyes as you see in your images plus here are two more...

This is P-51B 43-6506, HO*Y, 487th FS, 352nd FG. The pilot was Major John R. "Muscles" Bennett, whose trademark was the sharkmouth

Look at 1:49 and 2:43

I know Eagle Strike did a six-part series of decals for the Blue Nosed Birds of Bodney but I do not recall if the shark was there. Anyhow, this sheet is on sale for only $3USD from Squadron and it does have the HO codes:

Which decals? I am curious as I went through my stash (in several binders) and I did not have this scheme in any scale. Yes, it is one I really like!

I found these but they are for a P-51D-5:

The sharkmouth is slightly different too.

I see EagleCals has the markings but not listed in the title:

These just showed up today. It must be a sign as I off for the next three days. :laugh:

On the shark mouth I'm thinking of masking off the front ans airbrushing it. That just as well be the best and fastest for me.
