Just beware of "meticulously restored" airplanes. No matter how well intentioned the restorers, most flying warbirds only approximately resemble wartime P-51s in detail.

Of course you're right about this point. It's just that the bulk of the MMP book has photos of the restoration of the Mustang which is now painted as "Happy Jack's Go Buggy" (airframe is 44-74452/RCAF 9225). This restoration is remarkable, even down to the Alclad watermarks showing through the zinc chromate in the wheelwells. It may not be perfect but very close and I think for the purposes of building a model it's a great reference.

The P-51SIG website is amazing and will give you access to a huge pool of resources.

I tried to register on the P-51SIG site and could not find a place to do so. They stated that the site was open to new sign-ups but I could not find a place to register. Of course, I am dumber than a rock when it comes to that sort of thing.

Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Bud

It looks like registrations are disabled once again. Try to contact any admin directly so he may enable registrations for you. Once you've been registrated, you must post in the "new members" post area (forum rule), then the first 3 or 4 messages you post will not appear automatically on forum, those messages will be checked by admin first to see you're not a spammer, after those 3 or 4 messages, your following ones will appear automatically on forum.

I stumbled onto P-51 SIG last night for the first time. I am pretty sure I had some sort of religious experience!!

Those willing to register on the P-51 SIG should send an email to Craig at the following address:

He will open the registration for new potential members.
