I really like the Bud Anderson AC, they did a wonderful job. The captured Mustang is novel but I don't think I would bid for it. It will be interesting what these go for.

This is a KG 200 aircraft correct? I'm not a big luftwaffe guy, but i have heard of them, their suicide pilots and other forms of flying bombs, and I think dropping of secret agents behind enemy lines (thank you history channel). I found this picture of a captured p51B, not the same markings as this custom, but it's still cool to look at.

Looks like there's a captured P47D in the background as well.

There is an interesting book by Squadron/Signal publications that details Allied aircraft captured by the Germans in WWII. The Germans used them for a variety of purposes besides test evaluations including propaganda films, recon, and shadowing US bomber formations to guide flak gunners. Quite an interesting read 8)

Well, it like the looks of his B. The prices seem better. High twos seem a bit more manageable.
