Wonder if you could do that to a Mustang? :dum:

I've got this High Planes model of it:

Isn't that the plane that crashed into another P-51 a few weeks ago?

Nope, the 'Precious Metal' that crashed was a 'new-build' P-51A.
Evidently the A model had been painted in the colours of the racer for a movie.
