Yes its a model of an actual flyer form P.O.F.M., but not of a combat A/C. I dont want inaccurate paint schemes based on bad research.
I do like the model, but can't look at it the same way.


Not to beat a dead horse, but.... how is this an inaccurate paint scheme. It's not supposed to be OD, or an actual combat aircraft -- dragon is modelling this P-51, which as Mr. Skunk rightly says is part of the planes of fame group in chino, owned by Mr. Pond. Here's a pic of the real deal.

I understand not wanting a non-combat AC for sure, but it looks to me like dragon got the research right on this one, since they are copying the plane you see in the pic below -- Not sure why Mr. Pond elected for the blue... it's an interesting scheme though.

Corgi's appears to have no business being in that "Pacific Air War" set
