Robin Olds P-51 skin not accurate

[lantern53]

anyone know of a Robin Olds skin that is accurate to his kills? The one I have shows 17 kills, and some of those kills, about half, were Mig jets in Vietnam. Is there another one? tks

Only Scat VI by Bo_Nidle above.

 

Olds was the only pilot to "make ace" in both the P-38 (5 victories) and the P-51 (8 victories), so at the end of hostilities he should have 13 kill marks. He was credited additional 11.5 destroyed on the ground, so Bo_Nidles version with 14 marks isn´t that unrealistic.

Bo_Nidles has 14, which would make more sense than 17.

I appear to be a tad late to this topic as I just found it, but I think that some people are mistaken about the appearance of Olds "Scat VI".....and it isn't me.

 

"Scat VI" DID show 17 kill symbols as I depicted and as proof here's a period photo of said aircraft.

 

As can be seen it clearly shows 17 victory symbols when the photo was taken.
