Here's one of Callie's work for you Peter, Dad was in the RAAF in the 1950's so I did some work on an FMS 1700mm P-51 in RAAF S/Ldr Murray Nash's livery 3 Squadron CV-P KH716. Blisters did his P-51 as RAAF F/Lt Ken Richards CV-K KH853. I can't remember the details but Murray and Ken flew together for a while, apparently Ken's bombing talents won him acclaim, he was known to drop bombs down the exhaust stacks of enemy ships, pretty impressive!

I also had Callie do up livery for the Hobbyking 1700mm P-40N as RAAF, WOFF Len Waters who was Australia's first ever WWII Aboriginal fighter pilot, his HU-E A29-575 "Black Magic". I met one of his daughters at Inala in Brisbane when I was first researching his plane, it was a very interesting conversation and while I also bought some literature from her she made copyright very clear, so much that she wouldn't allow me to voice record the conversation either which would've been purely for personal reflection, so I was reluctant to post pics publicly online and eventually sold it quietly.

Anyhoo, here's photos of Murray & Ken's Mustangs, and video Murray's RAAF P-51... I'd forgotten about the 1st attempted landing abort... well, it was a maiden flight...

Here you go Ozhop, my 1S UM Kittyhawk added a section to the tail and
made her a P40N as per Len Waters “Black Magic.”

She flies nice but only in light wind conditions.

Became so interested in the Len Waters story I converted a 2S UM Habu into
a sort of stand off scale Classic Hornet in the “Woirmi” scheme, fly her with a
small 3S battery.

Also my 3 Sqn Mustang III this is a 2S UM modded from a bubble canopy to razorback.

Sorry folks a hi-jack not Cali graphics 1/32nd and 1/48th scale waterslide decals.

Back on topic here’s my UM mustang, this is the 1S version converted to 2S
power so she now has the performance too match her looks, down low turn left!
Cali did me some awesome mini “Strega” decals.

I am truly amazed of the wonderful work you have performed on your micros, outstanding work, honestly!
My heart goes to your Black Magic, wonderful! Show your Callie Graphics Warbirds & Civilian Planes - Page 65 (15)

Any chance you have video of your Strega...?

Here's my Callie Graphics warbird and civilian E-Flite P-39.

I have wanted to do something like this for a couple of years and it was a very fun project.
It was a true exercise in juxtaposition between the 2 schemes.

  • One is a warbird and one is a racer
  • One is beat up and dirty and one is sleek and clean
  • One is green with a white tail and one is white with a green tail
  • One is called "Girlie" and one is called "Mr Mennen"

I don't think I'll have any problems with visability on this plane and since I get 2 models in one it will save me some hangar space in the garage.

I hope you enjoy it.

Those look great! I see that your Dynam plane is suffering from the same thing that mine are. Why is it that their canopies darken over time? Mine used to be crystal clear but now they both look like they were tinted.

With some help from Callie, my second FMS 1800mm Ranger has made the transition to Air Force Academy Cessna 150.

The entire plane is wrapped with Oracal 751 series vinyl film.

I hope to maiden this weekend.

Apparently. Bromine an ingredient to flame retard plastic goes yellow. Hydrogen peroxide can clear it. I have never tried this, but in case you do here is a recipe. https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/feat...lastic-gadgets

Spruced up my otherwise junky AF-2S Guardian with some graphics to match the aircraft at the Mesa wing of the Commemorative Air Force.

Like it Greenships. Tell me about the model? Scratch build? My Uncle was an NFO in one during the Korean War.
