  1. Very nice, but if you really want to be historically correct, Murray Nash's Mustang CV-P serial KH677 only had one aerial on the rear deck, it did not have the wire aerial from the canopy to the fin, the spinner was red and none of the 3 squadron mustangs in Italy were fitted with exhaust shrouds. The reason for this was that the shrouds were removed by the maintenance engineers for ease of access - they were not necessary to streamline airflow and reduce drag as the aircraft were mainly involved in ground attack missions where speed was not a high priority. You may also be interested to learn that KH677 was the very first Mustang IV (P-51 K) to join 3 squadron, and on its very first mission (The bombing of Bjelovar rail yards, Yugoslavia) on 02/12/1944, squadron Leader Murray Nash was awarded the DSO for his part in that action. Keep up the good work.
