Warbirdsim P-51 Update

I think I have it more or less where I want it,

so if you don't have any more comments/remarks, I hope to upload it over the next few days.
 
I tried searching, I really did, but came up empty.

I don't have this plane yet, but will definitely buy it if someone comes up with "Kidd" Hofer's "Salem Representative". This was my favorite P-51 model back in EAW, and I would love to be able to fly it in FSX.

Now, don't get me wrong, I will probably get it anyway, and I know how much work it must be to do these repaints. (Well, actually, I don't know how difficult it is, because I have no clue on how to go about it, but you know what I mean, right?)

Anyway, this is a request, I would be eternally grateful. :applause:

Hope this kind of request is OK?
 
Thanks Jan. I better get it quick, it looks as though the end of the world is nigh in your picture above!
 
Jan, if I'm going to offer any constructive criticism, and I hope it will be taken as such, I think the brush marks representing scratch/wear marks along the inner wing look too much like a solid round brush has been used to create them. Have you thought of experimenting with a set of scratch brushes instead, or is the detail too fine for these on the texture sheet?

I only mention this because I feel that these marks are the only detracting part of your work on Gig's Up.

Edit: I thought I'd add a picture in case I wasn't being clear.

thanks Nick,

Yes, I did try brushes like that, but wasn't happy with the result, somehow the results were never random enough for my liking. I decided on this (1 points round solid brush indeed) and did not expect anybody to come this close...silly me...
OK, back to the drawing board, but that may take a while as I'll be travelling first...
