I am a bit surprised that it was finished in this way but at least one can make out individual items such as the oil tank (in yellow). Once again it is all there, albeit in ’funny’ colors. The removed bottom cowling panel reveals the carburettor air duct.Īlso note the multiple holes in the framework for the fasteners. However, these close-up views allow all the engineering to be shown clearlly. With the cowling panels removed one can see that, although all the bits are there, the colors of the engine, acsessories and fitings are spurious to original wartime finish. The propeller cuffs, widely used on Merlin-powered Mustangs during their operational use, are not present here. This picture offers a good view of the Hamilton paddle-blade propeller of the P-51D. This aircraft is based at Reilly’s and again is a flyer. I could not personally fault this finish. This is another lucky chance… walking around Duxford one afternoon, ’Ding – Hao’ was rolled out of the paint shop for the very first time – right in front of me! I thought it was my birthday… 🙂 As you can see, it has been finished very realistically as the overall paint finish is semi-matt and the hues and tones of the colors used are superbly close to the original. Here is a Ding – Hao taxying along the perimeter track at Duxford during an airshow note the position of the flaps, elevators and all the underneath fairings and vents. 44-74008 is owned by Intrepid Aviation in North Weald, UK.Ĭandyman-Moose is operated by The Fighter Collection at Duxford. The characteristic dark engine cowling panel below the exhausts is quite noticeable. Each aircraft had been finished to a very high realistic standard and it was a sight to behold.

It is immaculate, however, I am not sure if the colour scheme is authentic. This is resident at Tom Reilly’s Aviation restoration facility based in Kissimmee, Orlando, Florida and is kept in flying condition. This fairly large set of photographs has been divided into sections below. Some additional photos from Magnus Fridsell (via Martin Waligorski) show the P-51D on display at the Swedish AF Museum in Linköping, Sweden. I had an opportunity to photograph several preserved – and flying – machines at Duxford.

Nowadays a bubbletop Mustang is the most widely preserved warbird, and it is fairly easy to encounter P-51Ds at airshows, at least here in the UK. This walkaround of the P-51D ”bubbletop” Mustang concludes the wide coverage of the type that readers of this publication undoubtedly noticed during recent months. The development history of P-51D can be found in the previously published Modeller’s Guide to Late P-51 Mustang Variants by Joe Baugher. Much has been already written on these pages about P-51 Mustang, so I will skip the background information. The pictures will look best if your video card is configured to handle 16-bit color. It contains a number of pictures that we wanted to reproduce at the highest practicable quality.
