Repaint:  "Chicago's Own" and "Short Fuse Sallee"

 P-51D Mustang "Chicago's Own" and "Short Fuse Sallee", 356th Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group, 9th AF.
 Repaints are based on photos appearing in Osprey Aviation Elite � 7 - 354th Fighter Group, W. Hess. 

 Slight variations in the placement of the stars can be seen among the planes in the squadron.  Having painted the stars
 on the repaints, I can attest that it is very labor intensive to place the stars exactly right.  Also, the black stripe has to be
 perpendicular to the 1.8� slant of the engine section in order for the stars to be sized and spaced evenly around the nose. 
 Another painting variation, the center fuselage's D-Day stripes are different between Short Fuse Sallee and Chicago's Own.
