For anyone who might be interested.  I was just informed, by someone in the industry, that Revell Germany is going to re-issue the 1/32 P-51B in February.  It is unknown at this time what decals will be coming with the kit or if it going to be re-tooled.  If/when I find out more I can post it here.

Where are you going to find the "Bee"? You going to make it, or are there decals for it?

The purple Voodoo? Yeah I know it. It won the Gold last year, if this is the one your talking about.

 

Yep that is the one I'm talking about.

There is an old Revell Kit that has these decals with it.  If I cant find the kit, I'll take a picture of the real one and make my own decals.  I may even end up buying the Barracuda decal sheet for the P-47 and use the "Bee" from that sheet.

I don't believe I know #55.

#55 Voodoo Chile is a highly modified P-51D that races in Reno.  It is a multicolored paintscheme, mostly purple.

Yes, that P-51B that is at Warhawk is the basis for the kit I'm planning.  Fortunately, the aircraft in your picture is less than a mile from my house, so getting good reference shots will be pretty easy.

Douglas,

I got you down sir.

Jeremy,

I got you updated with this, I believe you wanted.

I don't believe I know #55. Was it an AT-6?

I've been out of the modeling loop for about a year now (due to lots of life changes.) I'd like to join this build by entering a 1/72 Airfix P/F-51D Mustang.Markings/scheme yet to be determined.

Cheers,Douglas

I remember when Bob "Hurricane" Hannah was piloting the #55 Voodoo Chile.  I saw it at the Caldwell Airport once when he flew it there.  He has a ton of stuff on his walls in his private hangar on his island between Middleton and Caldwell.

Steve, put me down for a 1/32 P-51B, likely in the Boise Bee scheme of Duane Beeson.

Yeah, the schemes have changed some through the years. Like Rare Bear, way different.

Miss America won the Unlimited Silver when I was there in 13. Voodoo won the Gold last year.

That will be a very cool build.

I got there in either 69 or 70 as a field trip in the aviation class I was in in high school.(grew up in Quincy, had two sisters in Reno/Sparks)  Had Blue Angles there, loved the Pitts and the unlimiteds.  Bob Hoover was the absolute show stopper for me with his routine in the Aero Commander Shrike.  Kill both engines and feather the props in the loop and grease it on dead stick.  I think DG was still flying his Bear then too, gear was raised with nitrogen and dropped and locked with gravity and a quick shake.

Kit paint scheme is different from your pic.  Some scallops in the blue  and ed on the tail but no "swoopy" lines on the profile, and wings are scalloped and starred.

1/48 of the old Hasagawa  Miss America, the '94 unlimited gold unlimited winner at Reno.

That will be fantastic. I try to get to Reno every couple of years, and really enjoy going to the pits.

My grandson in front of Srega

 Rare Bear

 And of course, Miss America
