More Mustangs

[GrubbyFingers]

Hi Guys,

I can let the cat out of the bag now.

When I did some Mustangs a couple of year's back, they were for a book that is about to be released. As the book is now being released, I am free to show you what I have been up to.

The book is about Aussie Mustangs and covers all the birds that flew with the RAAF. It goes over the relevant units and people and traces which are still flying today.

The profiles cover pretty much all aspects of the Aussie Mustang life and there are a few tracing the history of individual airframes.

The book is titled 'Stang! and will be available from Red Roo Models online shop from September 11.

Enjoy!

Impressive set Grubby! I especially like the unusual variants you've depicted, some of which I'd never ran across.

Nice work Grubby, and congratulations on getting them published.

I've drawn a few of these airframes myself and had the good fortune to go for a ride in VH-BOB a couple of years before her wheels up landing.

Don't think I've said anything about these here or on fb but damn they are good, you've been busy and even though you've already shown us one or two they still are great in all respects

Thanks, Guys.

Vuk, VH-BOZ was modified for target tug work in the 1960s. There was a winch operator sitting backwards behind the pilot.
