P-51D-5-NA 44-13398 was the first D-model to be delivered to the 352nd FG, just after D-Day. It was assigned to the 486th FS CO, Major Willie O Jackson, and received the registration J and a full set of invasion stripes by the 15th of june. Before the start of the Shuttle Mission to Russia and Italy, which began on 21 june, it received the characteristic blue nose of the 352nd FG. Maj jackson used this aircraft to claim three kills on 18 & 19 july 1944. The aircraft was lost over France on 17 august 1944, with Lt William Reese at the controls. Luckily, he managed to escape the Germans.
Of course the tail is wrong, it should not have a fin fillet, apart from all the other details, but I thought it would make a nice paint anyway for the A2A Mustang.
