Pre-production photos, HA7724, P-51D Mustang "Scat VI" Robin Olds.

Hobby Master 1/48 Air Power Series, HA7724 P-51D Mustang 411746 "Scat VI", 434th FS, 479th FG, February 1945.

Several references have serial 44-72922 belonging to Scat VI but they would be wrong. 44-72922 belonged to Scat VII that survived WWII and is privately owned and has been flown several times by General Olds in a non-military fashion. 

There are sites on You Tube that show General Olds talking about Scat VII with him telling the serial as 44-72922. Also an interview with the owner of Scat VII and pictures of the aircraft.
