Album info
I finished my Airfix 1:24 Mustang 3 years ago in the markings of a recce Mustang from the GR II/33 unit.
F-6D-10-NA #44-14717 was received in February 1945, and had logged less than 22 flight hours. By the end of 1945, it bore a rugged look with extreme exhaust and oil staining. It carried the name of the French town Aix-les-Bains on the port side of the nose. The model now found a new home at the "Musée Mémorial des Combats de la Poche de Colmar" about five miles away from the airfield where the original was stationed in the winter of 1944/45.
The small Museum in Turckheim (France) is very nicely done with a vast number of original bits and pieces and a smart system of QR codes that let you download the stories of the people behind those artefacts. Well worth a visit.
