• 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.

Major Mike Sobanski flying Howard Hively's 'The Deacon' leads Lt. Edward Steppe in Frank Speer's 'Turnip Termite' back to France on D-Day afternoon. Neither would return.

Been working on the Warbirdsim P-51B recently and these are just about done apart from paint chipping. I always find it quite moving recreating aircraft brave men have fought and died in.

PS - 'Suzy G' will be updated soon as well.
 
Very nice Dave, am I correct when I think the droptanks still need an alpha layer?

These tanks are painted grey, Huub. If I left them aluminium they would need an alpha channel. However, a quick trawl of photos on the 'Little Friends' site seems to suggest the early 75 gal. tanks with the raised filler cap were mostly painted grey.

Thanks for the reply Dave, I really didn't know the first tanks were grey.

Cheers,
