Inspired by World War II's greatest Mustang ace, and a benchmark-setting restoration, Warbirdsim is proud to introduce Major George E. Preddy Jr.'s P-51D "Cripes A' Mighty", Then and Now.
From the wear and tear of combat, to the polish and perfection of an award winning restoration, this product features fully authentic reproductions of Preddy's last wartime mount as it would have been seen in late 1944, as well as the modern example restored in his honour, depicted as it was fresh out of restoration.
From the dual-mounted Spitfire mirrors, to the fully reproduced red and white barbershop pole markings, this product provides for a level of accuracy in reproducing these particular aircraft that has never been possible before. Whether you are interested in reliving the past, or recreating the present, you can now fly the P-51D as Preddy would have known it in the last months of 1944 or as current pilots will find it in the meticulous restoration of today.
Using original North American plans and blueprints and working from literally thousands of photographs and sketches incorporating three years of extensive research and development,this is THE enthusiasts definitive Mustang version, brought to life with loving care and stunning attention to detail.
