How interesting that even the painting of these planes identified the different groups. As a child during WW2 I learned to identify the various fighter and bomber planes of Canada and many of the US too, I could also identify all the fleet ships sailing up the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic to join the war. Funny because today I can't even identify the makes and models of cars
Nice to see some more of your great models - of course I have been following you on Modeling Madness since Harrison Ford was young..... :-) Good show - some day I may do Tom Christian's P-51D in its rainbow array, a very interesting kluge of a couple of painting orders according to Dana Bell.....
Forward in these to my nephew, another modeler and a wooden boat builder. He will appreciate these because they will remind him of his Canadian father, also a modeler whose works often took up wide swathes of the ceilings where he hung them.

Industrial design used to have "brand specific" items that made the products identifiable. Now it's not just cars you can't identify.
These are wonderful!

Forgot to put Lou IV up - I did it in Dana Bell's revisionist scheme.
Great! Now I can use you as a reference too..... :-)
Great pix, and incredible modeling. Thanks TC.
Love the P47D!
