I have just uploaded the "Goodbye Micky Mouse" textures for the Warbirdsim P-51B
from the read me:
This a set of two repaints for the payware FS2004 or FSX Warbirdsim P-51 B/C. The repaints depict the aircraft flown by two of the main characters in the novel "Goodbye Mickey Mouse" written by the British writer Len Deighton.
One repaints the aircraft Mickey Mouse II flown by Captain Z.M. Morse, nicknamed Mickey Mouse, who is racing to become the first American pilot to break Eddie Rickenbacker's record of 26 kills from World War I. The other repaint depicts the aircraft named Kitbitzer flown by Captain James A. (Jamie) Farebrother, who starts a relationship with an English girl.
Both repaints are based on an analysis by Jonathan Strickland, and the fairly accurate descriptions of the artwork, given in the book.
To use these repaints you should have a legal copy of the Warbirdsim model either in FS2004 or FSX. With permission from John "bomber_12th" Terrell the textures from the "Ding Hoa" livery were used as base for these repaints.
As the novel is placed in the winter 1943-1944 it is logical that the aircraft are the early P-51B-5-NA version and are still painted in the early olive green/grey scheme. In the book there is a description how one of the main characters closes the canopy, which indicates the aircraft had the birdcage canopy. The airfield in the novel is fictional and therefore the unit is fictional as well. The unit code TZ was chosen as it didn't exist in real life. The aircraft numbers are fictional as well.
Enjoy (also for those not named Jamie
),
