.....Because I just got this in the mail today all the way from down under!!! :D :lol:

Less than 300 of these babies (250 from what I've read in some places, only 200 in others)! :shock: 8)

Can't wait to hang it from my ceiling later this week!

That certainly looks cool! The "Old Crow" scheme (from the boxed ones I've seen) still looks nice though.

That is a great looking scheme on that P-51. I am also really impressed with the paint work on the "OLD CROW" version of the BBI P-51. The olive drab paint is very smooth, and it really captures the look of the real Mustang. Great job BBI. :D

That does look cool. Nice score.

I would wait for the next batch of Old Crow and maybe they will fix the mistake with the nose art being on only one side.

Thanks fellas! Old Crow is certainly cool/unique looking, but I doubt I'll pick one up since I have this Aussie one as well as the Hurry Home Honey version, both of which have some olive drab on them.

After I get my 4 for victory Mustang, I'll have 2 of the rarest 1:18 P51's ever made in my collection! Add that to the Euro FW-190 (black 14) and I'm one happy camper! Now if I could just track down a spinach camo 109..... :roll: :wink: 8)

That sure is a good looking bird. I'd love to have a Spitfire in US markings for Operation Torch.

Somebody asked me about the pilot, and I responded to the PM but thought I would share here as well - unfortunately it is the exact same as the ones used in the U.S. planes (right down to the USAF patch on the shoulder - oops! :shock: :roll: )

Still a very cool looking bird - but don't expect any kind of fancy Aussie fig to come with it! :wink:
