About product

Wing leaders' initials on the fuselage of the Mustang

British practice allowed a wing leader to replace the two-letter squadron code with his own initials. On this 1:72 sheet, therefore, ordinarily marked machines of rank-and-file pilots meet the aircraft of three holders of that privilege, which makes it interesting material for anyone building Polish Mustangs.

Six machines in the package

  • PK-O, serial number FB179, No. 315 Squadron RAF, spring 1944
  • UZ-W, serial number FZ149, No. 306 Squadron RAF, August 1944
  • PK-G, serial number FB166, No. 315 Squadron RAF, commander Eugeniusz Horbaczewski, June 1944
  • SS, serial number FZ152, Wing Commander Stanislaw Skalski, June 1944
  • TN, serial number HB886, Group Captain Tadeusz Nowierski, August 1944
  • TR, serial number HB822, Group Captain Tadeusz Rolski, February 1945

Skalski was among the most successful Polish fighter pilots and his name is borne by the unit that fought in North Africa. Horbaczewski led No. 315 Squadron during the period of hunting V-1 flying bombs and was killed in action in August 1944. The three command aircraft with two letters are therefore a fairly rare chance to build the machine of a particular historical figure.

A technical note

The skin of the Mustang is smooth and painted, and a decal holds on it well even without further preparation. Even so, it pays to lay a glossy layer under the artwork and, once dry, to unify the whole model with a semi-matte coat so that the edges of the film disappear. The set holds the printed sheet and color drawings.

FAQ

They are the initials of a wing leader, who was allowed to replace the squadron code with his own marking.

Yes, each sheet from the brand carries a different line-up of machines and the serial numbers are not repeated between them.

It will not. The D version has a different cockpit and a different rear fuselage; the schemes belong to the early version with the bulged canopy.
