Warbirdsim P-51D-5-NA Little Friends II OUT NOW! (Pay-ware)

Thanks to the help I have been given by both John and Jan here and Aussiecop on the OZx forums I believe I have mastered the art of layered painting. Real life has interfered with my painting over the last few days but hopefully tomorrow night I will have some WIP screenshots to show here. The hardest bit has been the Alpha channels but seem to have that worked out now.
 
formation fun:

Nice work in these "piano keys". Great weathering on "Georgia Boy" and I don't think I saw Sheebo before......

Cheers,

Most of the repaints I want to do are former RAAF Mustangs that have been restored. Most of those in private hands have had the gunsight removed so I am wondering whick paintkit and model I can use. Also can I please have some information on how to add the 108 or 110 gallon drop tanks and how to get them to show in the cfg.

Thanks.
 
G'day Tom,

Thanks for the compliment on the screenshot. Is my first major attempt at a repaint. Took a bit working out how to use layers but all ok now. Helathwise I am never better. Retired a month ago and things like my Blood Sugar levels fropped from 25 to around the 4 to 7 level and blood pressure is way down as well.

Got more time to devote to Flight Sim now as well. Give me a yell if ever you are heading back towards Sydney so we maybe can meet up for coffee.
 
Err.....? Bell Aircraft, John?? Airacobra??!!

Anyway just uploading this pair from the 55th FG

"PENDAJA / MISS Ruth" repaint posted

Have just uploaded repaint to the FSX skins library. Now, which one shall I attempt next?

:icon_lol:

Cheers

Taff.

PS my regards to all the other re-painters out there e.g. Jan Kees and DaveQ etc. I have always marveled at your skill and expertise and after working on this repaint I am even more impressed with what you and others are able to achieve. :applause:
 
After many false starts I finally feel that I am almost ready to post my first WarbirdSim repaint. However I need some advice from either Jan of John or any other repainter. Here are some screenshots that I have highlighted my little problems on.

These three screenshots show the problem I am stuck with at the moment:

In this shot I would like to know how to change the stencilling to reflect an Australian built P-51D. CAC Australia built 200 Mustangs and Australia purchased nearly 300 from the U.S.

Advice greatly appreciated.
 
Some more showing WIP.

Think I have the shine just about right.

Hope to have some shots of this bird taking flight later today.
 
aussieman: the stencils are on the 'stencils' layer, just select this part of the layer and delete it, and then replace it with a CAC datablock

The other bits and pieces I don't know, just keep making layers invisible until they disappear.

Meanwhile I'm working on another Iwo Mustang:

The red tail I never uploaded, nobody seemed interested in that paint.
