| My GMP P-51D "Hurry Home Honey"
A B-17 crew was under attack after they had left formation due to battle damage. They were fighting to stay alive, and trying to limp home when they were attacked by a couple of ME--109's. Before they knew it, a lone P-51 attacked the ME's downing one, and scaring off the other. When the B-17 returned to it's base, and the pilot told this stoy in debriefing he was asked if he knew who the pilot might be. He said, "I don't know who he was, or what group it was, but it said "Hurry Home honey on the nose." THis P-51's was always one of my favorites, and I really wanted this one for a while in diecast. SO I made my own. Now I already own an example of all of the GMP's so when you see me modifying these, they are not my only ones. I pick up ones to modify for cheap when I can. There are many of you here that have much more talent then I do, but I enjoy myself, so go gentle on me. |
