I'll send some photos to Bud, too.

Hey thanks Peter! Didn't expect to see that particular adjective applied to me and my build after it being used so extensively on Mike's build, but I appreciate it.

Wily, that would be quite an honor having Bud himself look at my build. Thank you.

While I have your attention, you would probably know the history of Bud and this plane better than anyone else on this forum. I was curious whether Bud flew only the P-51B that you're drawing, or if he ever had other Mustangs painted in the Old Crow colors? I know the model I built is based on a currently-flying privately-owned P-51D that is painted to match Bud's P-51B but didn't know if Bud actually flew a D in the war. Do you know if he ever flew in this particular plane recently too? I think it's owned by Anders Saether.

cmags -

Bud flew at least two different B models and 2 D/K models.

Have you ever been to his website?

Bud Anderson's P-51 Mustang "Old Crow" Web Page

Also, I suggest you check out his book, "To Fly and Fight." It's a worthy read - you'll probably read it twice.

Right now, I'm doing an "Old Crow" that's the second P-51B bearing the name. He requested that I render the version prior to the D-Day invasion.

Your cardmodel is quite good - you already know that - and I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it.

Mr. Anderson is a nice fellow. Met him last year at Wings Over Houston.

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.
