Model is an oldie from Hasegawa, but still great in terms of fit and detail. Decals are custom-printed. Only add-ons are resin seat and propeller.

Nice build!
What's the story behind it? Was there an independent Polish squadron or something?

I'm assuming it's a whif relating to Jan Zumbach (14 April 1915 - 3 January 1986).

Many thanks but ...
[/quote]subtle is a word I would never call it ;) I've used black primer and overcoated it with aluminium. Very thinned gloss varnish caused all black to be visible.

I dont have any story. All has began with a single side view made by one of my acquaintances,  of a imagined personal P-51D Mustang of Lt Col Jan Zumbach, Commander of 3rd (135th ) Fighter Wing, with 303 and 315 Sqn being part of.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
