The tires are now 100 bucks apiece, Randy's are now mounted and on the Mustang. My set is up in my garage rafters. Randy made a post somewhere as to the WWII P-51 pilot who had that on his plane.

Trying to keep true to the original without making an exact copy. I think there is also some sort of artistic standard that faces should be looking in.

Tires are 275/45/18 all the way around.

  Yep, just wondering if there was any reason for it facing rearward.

No. I have been into WWII aircraft and nose art in particular since I was about 5 years old.

I thought about using one from a Messerschmitt 109 and replacing the planes he's bashing with the bat and stomping on with a cumaro and a honda[1] but it's even more obscure than the agitated avian.

Yea thanks, i knew the reference to the p-51s, but was unsure of the history or squadron.  Specifically why the eagle faced inward.  I always thought they artistically faced outward unless there was another meaning.  For example, the mustang pony, and snakes all face the front on both sides.

To me, facing rearward is more of a defensive stance. On a fighter plane you would expect a little more aggression.

Knowing that sluggo is into that stuff, i wondered if he knew why it wasn't facing forward.

Seems like some were mounted facing forward on the right side of the plane.....or was the pic flipped by mistake....



I have seen emblems swapped direction from side to side with no reason for the direction other than ease of duplication. Emblem choice is just a basic reason for the emblem being used for that squadron/unit, a lot of the time the direction means nothing. Many were painted free hand using a drawing as an example. The reversal of the pattern was difficult for some "artists" of old. With modern technology, it is a lot different.

Either way, it looks good on the local car.......

It finally hit me, I have that model of the Shangri-La P-51B.  For unk reason, it only includes one of the logos. 

I'm clearing out some old models and this was one slated to be given away, let me know if you want it.
