Who's Mustang did you post to CA? I was just curious since it has two antenna masts. Thanks in advance, Pete

The model is from Dark Side, so be aware of this. It depicts the 3 squadrons sent to Iwo Jima to escort the B-29s, and I´m sure you know this. The less know detail is the fact that this Mustangs were modified to carry a larger drop tanks with a strange wooden made supports to avoid they to sway for its size, not reproduced here so far. Another feature is the double dorsal antenna plus another one on the chin for long range direction finding. A friend of mine made those lods - the Snowburn. Some later models had a clever IFF gadget installed on tail wich lights up a warning in cockpit when an enemy plane came from behind, but not present in this package as well.
Hope you like Boss!

Hi boss! This Mustang belongs to the Very Long Range (VLR) squadrons deployed to Iwo Jima as B-29 escort ships. They had these extra antennas and large Drop Tanks. The model is from YAP, but I made an upgrade to Capun´s new one wich´s basically the same but with speculars. The antennas I took from a friend who did specially to the P-51D VLRs. Interested?
