Corgi AA32204 1/72 P-51D Mustang – “Petie 2nd” – Pre Loved

Description

After flying P-40’s and scoring 3 victories while flying the P-47, John Meyer achieved Ace status in the Mustang, flying with 352nd Fighter Group. His first aircraft was Lambie II and then PETIE and it was in this machine that he racked up the majority of his kills. Meyer had the name overpainted with bright orange stripes and the kill markings because he felt the colours to be too bland and that the brighter colours would ‘scare the hell out of the damn Germans’. This was PETIE 2nd and after scoring two victories in this he moved on to PETIE 3rd where he scored further victories. He was assigned Deputy Group Commander in 1944 and continued to fly after the was claiming two MiG-15 kills in Korea.
