[Download] Cuban P-51D (15 skins)
#1

In November 1958, three US-registered civilian P-51D Mustangs were illegally flown separately from Miami to Cuba, on delivery to the rebel forces of the 26th of July Movement, then headed by Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution. One of the Mustangs was damaged during delivery, and none of them was used operationally. After the success of the revolution in January 1959, with other rebel aircraft plus those of the existing Cuban government forces, they were adopted into the Fuerza Aérea Revolucionaria (FAR). Due to increasing US restrictions, lack of spares and maintenance experience, they never achieved operational status. At the time of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the two intact Mustangs were already effectively grounded at Campo Columbia and at Santiago. After the failed invasion, they were placed on display with other symbols of "revolutionary struggle", and one remains on display at the Museo del Aire (Cuba).

The Three P-51Ds were:

FAR 201 - 45-11700
FAR 301 - 44-74505
FAR 401 - 44-73978

I have added a fictional forth plane “101” and a blank (5 skins per set).
I have included three sets of 5, each set using a different historical national insignia (pre-1958, 1958-1962, and post-1962) for a total of 15 skins.
I thought that maybe P-51 fans might enjoy these colorful skins.
