Another by special request...

Major Bill Shomo's famous "Flying Undertaker"
Quite a unique paint scheme on this one,

get it through papermodelshop.com
and at ecardmodels.com here

Got it!
Thank you for adding optional parts to open the vents - very nice touch.

a bit simple I admit, but sometimes simple
can still be effective?

I'm not a big fan of using 100 parts where two or three will give the same effect

MODEL UPDATE!

I have had to make a quick fix to this model
...and a new version is being uploaded to the store, as I write this!
So, if ya bought it already, please go back to ecardmodels later today and get the
fixed version.

Considering all the numbers I have, I should get every serial number and "special
project number" correct on these planes...but for some reason I didn't on the Undertaker!

Actually its just a case of forgetting to update the fuselage stenciled info when I
worked on this paint.

Thanks to GreMir for noticing the incorrect numbers!

Dave,
I just found another issue...
Vertical stabilizer is missing black/gold striping on the dorsal fin.

**airdave** · #7 07-25-2012, 09:23 PM

crap, it took me an hour to figure out what you were talking about!!
...and find the tiny little missing thing! lol

I never noticed the Tail reaches that far into the stripe!

Do you want the part?
or can you wait until until the kit gets updated?
(could take a couple of days)

...
actually, I would prefer you try the part to see if the stripes line up okay.
...before I update the entire kit.

I can send you the updated part...do I have your email address?
Maybe you could just email me and then I can reply.

I will take the part to check, and I can wait for the entire kit.
I still want to finish the Mk I Mustang, but Undertaker is already printed and ready to spray-seal.
I sent you PM with my email address.

UPDATE 1/33 P-51D Mustang The Flying Undertaker Bill Shomo

It was brought to my attention that I missed a very small part of the
fuselage striping as it crosses the Tail fin part (of the Rudder).

Anyway, I have fixed the graphics and updated the parts (and the kit).

A new version is available for download, if you bought the kit from ecardmodels,
you can drop by and update your purchase.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Dave
