Thanks Wily, I did see Bud's site earlier on in my research for pictures of the Scandinavian Historic Flight Old Crow, but this time around I found the forum. I see now the following information:
Bud flew a P-51B-7 and a P-51B-15 both with the Olive Drab scheme, then later a P-51D first in the OD scheme which was cleaned off down to the bare metal scheme when it was decided that US fighters would take a more active roll in enticing German fighters into a fight.
Couldn't find anything on the P-51H you mentioned.
Either way, I'm glad to see that the SHF Old Crow is a fairly accurate representation of one of Bud's planes - the P-51D while it was still in the OD colors. Obviously there are a few changes like cockpit, antenna, and armament.
