Yes that is correct Normandy. The cammo one was in the livery of a P51 of 3 SQD RAAF North Africa and the other one in the livery of 77 SQD RAAF.Occupational Forces Japan 1945.

3 sqn RAAF operated the P-51d from November '44 until the end of the war in Italy and I think Yugoslavia too. I don't think 77 sqn saw any action during WWII with the P-51d.

I regret not getting the 3 sqn model back in the day.

Thank's Normandy . The same buyer is also buying some of my others as well like my BBI F18 Blue Dragon , D Day Spitfire and a couple of others he is humming over. The RAAF F18 was ship out a couple of day's ago and being safe the transaction was done through Paypal to which they inform me that i had to supply a tracking number which was fair enough but the real pisser is they now say they won't release the fund's till 24 hours after it arrives at it's destination .....Spewing !! :evil:
