Very nice, Tom! Thank you!

The very authentically-restored P-51D "Geraldine", owned by Chuck Greenhill, was initially going to sport these markings (complete with the polished metal it has), before a change of mind after the restoration had been completed - some of the "Detroit Miss" markings had already been applied before the decision was made. As much as I like the "Geraldine" markings, and now can't imagine it in anything else, I still can't help but feel there was a bit lost by not having such a stunning depiction of "Detroit Miss" flying today. The Scandinavian Historic Flight P-51D was however of course painted in these markings (silver-base) from 1999-2001.

:D

there are many different takes on how it did look - I based it in part on the Scandinavian Historic Flight and on a couple of drawings, thankfully there are photos of the nose that made it look like the original one.
