Matt Minnichsoffer
Lindstrom, Minnesota
Matt built an Eduard 1/48 scale P-51B Mustang box stock and decorated it in D-Day markings for “Flying Scot II/Vicious Virgie” flying out of Bodney, England, piloted by Lt. Carleton Fuhrman. He primed the plane with Mr. Finish 1500, pre-shaded panel lines, and painted the natural-metal finish first. Next came the blue nose, and Matt left the invasion stripes for last. Pastels colored the nose and wings for exhaust and powder stains.
