Warbirdsim P-51 Update

[Duckie]

if you resize the textures to 1024, and convert them to bmp, they work just as well in FS9!

Oh, yes! Learned that one early on.

Bruce, this photo may help you out - of the same aircraft, though a bit later in its life. As you can see, there is a clear indication of the serial number for the tail. You can also see where RAF green has been applied to the fuselage and upper wing surfaces, and by this time, the aircraft has been modified to incorporate the Malcolm hood. Also, the lettering for "Big Mac Junior" should be yellow with a black surround.

Here's an earlier photo, without invasion stripes, RAF green, or Malcolm hood additions:

Here is the final version of 'Beantown Banshee'...

...and the Hi-res version of 'The West "by Gawd" Virginian'.

The next one will be "Starck Mad/Even Stevens"...

Stephan, these are excellent! The mid-352nd FG blue that I used on "Princess Elizabeth" was actually matched to the blue of the surviving nose art of "The West By Gawd Virginian".

Very nice!
Now a bit more wear and tear, and it'd be perfect!

Guys you are going to have to stop painting, as I think my resolve has buckled and I am going have to get it.

The only problem is going to have to wait as I can't really use my PC at the moment, due to have surgery on my ankle and having to keep me leg up etc. So for the moment using a laptop.

But once I can get back on to my FSX machine, this will be added the HD.

Much appreciated, Stephan!

[res non verba]

Awesome paint Bruce!!!

 

[jankees]

Fun detail of the last pic is that Bill Overstreet, the pilot of Berlin Express, later flew 43-24823, Bud Anderson's 'Old Crow', renaming it 'Berlin Express' as well. Looking good Bruce!

Meanwhile, I had forgotten the CM on the nose of Betty Jane, and started on 'Ole II', William Hovde's second aircraft of that name (and with a lot still to follow)
