 This sheet can actually be found as Superscale sheet 48-90 or as Micro Scale sheet 48-90 ( both sheets are identical ). If you are wanting to build John England’s “Uve Had it!” from the 357th FG, I believe this is the only sheet out there. One other A/C I have not see elsewhere is “The Hun Hunter/Texas” from the 355th FG. Oddly, the sheet has (6) stars & bars—enough to build 1 ½ aircraft. The kill markings for “The Hun Hunter/Texas” are way off register unfortunately, but that is to be expected on a sheet of this age. That is the only real discrepancy on the sheet if you don’t count the mediocre stencil data.

  A/C #1: P-51B “Short Fuse Sallee”, Pilot: Lt. Col Richard Turner, 354th FG/356th FS 9th AF. Standard Olive Drab over Gray paint scheme & white spinner/nose band
