There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Paintkit Finished!
I have just completed the paintkit, and will start sending copies out to those who have contacted me thus-far, very soon. This is what you get with the paintkit, if you combine everything provided, as it comes. The subject is 44-13366, a factory-fresh example. You are provided both a paintkit for the standard fillet-less P-51D-5-NA models, as well as a separate paintkit for the P-51D-5-NA model fitted with an early dorsal fin fillet.
After I get the paintkits sent out to all of those who have asked for it thus far, I will be uploading these repaints below, one for each of the "D-5 standard" and "D-5 filleted" models, for anyone who might be interested in these factory-fresh examples.
Early dorsal fin fillet installed (slightly different construction/design than the more familiar fillet installed on later D-models).

So very few of us ever get to experience a P-51 from anywhere but a bystander's POV. Those of us who dream of anything else have long been confined to books and airshows. Oh we have our generic Mustangs in FS and war games, but none attempt to show us what the actual warbird was like in a museum quality way. This work of art is going a long way toward doing just that. Giving us a peek into the aircraft actually delivered into the hands of young men to fly and fight.
Stood next to a P-51C-5-NT Tuskegee Airmen, painted for movie 'Redtails' I assumed, this past weekend. First I had ever seen anything earlier than a D. Looking into the tiny cockpit and having the C in FSX too, has changed my perspective.
Grateful, Jim
I would welcome similar treatment of any worthy warbird.

Thank you Jim! I am extremely thankful for all of the support I have gotten with these aircraft!
The P-51C you mention, actually lives just about 4-miles from where I do, owned/opperated by the Minnesota Wing of the Commemorative Air Force - the single biggest reason I ever came down with a passion for the P-51, and especially for the early high-back Mustangs. I don't remember a time in my life that I didn't know the difference between a P-51B and a P-51C, let alone a P-51B/C and a P-51D. : )
BTW, the "Tuskegee Airmen" paint scheme and name is how the aircraft has been purposely painted as since the completion of its first restoration a decade ago. The aircraft is actually now technically part of the newly-formed "Red Tail Squadron" of the CAF, but it is still the CAF Minnesota Wing guys that operate it and the same Minnesota Wing hangar that houses it (on the rare occasion it finds itself back home again). The aircraft has been travelling all over the U.S., along with a specially-designed semi-trailer, to tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, and by doing so, hopefully spark healthy motivation/inspiration amongst the youth, to grow to be successful and hard-working adults, not affraid to push beyond the boundaries they or our society may set upon them.

I just want to add that I just finished sending out paintkits to everyone who has contacted me requesting one (as well as to a couple of individuals who didn't ask for it : ) ), so be sure to check your e-mails, I hope you will all find it very useful!

I just finished uploading both of the versions of 44-13366 together in one -zip file - you can install one or the other, or you can install both at the same time. The placards in the cockpit also feature the proper USAAF serial number, NAA serial number, and NAA construction number (as do all of the variants covered in the product). For repainters, by using the known USAAF serial number on the tail, you can use any of the construction numbers and NAA serial numbers scribed on any of the placards on the other variants included in the product, to calculate what those would be for whatever D-5-NA you are repainting. The date-entries on the placards were never filled out, so you don't have to concern yourself with those areas ont he placards - they were always left empty.
When available, this link should take you to the factory-fresh repaints:

Oh, and Dave, e-mail sent!

Waiting for the download link...
Just to clarify/be on the safe side, as a lot of different download-related items have been discussed, which download are you referring to specifically?
AussieMan
SOH Staff .."Bartender"
Not real sure if I stuffed up my purchase. Have the receipt from PayPal confirming my purchase but as yet still have no email with the download link. Maybe I should have waited to see if I was to be redirected back to the download area. Hard to find out as there is no place where I can log in to my account to find out.
Help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Pat

Well then John, you must live only a few miles from me! Many times I hear the Flying Cloud-based T6 Texans growl over my house. BTW, very nice work with these WarbirdSim mustangs. I own the high-backs and am tempted by the D-models.
