I'm on this. Also one of my favourite 'what if' schemes. I remember the debates around whether the Cavalier Mustang was suitable as an SEA close support asset alongside the Bronco and Sandy in the late 1960's. It lost out because of its vulnerability to ground fire though its range and on-station loiter time made it very appealing. And the DCS paint pattern looks better than most of the actual ones used!

I'd also like to do an F-16 style repaint for it too. I know its odd but my love of the mustang carries on. Someone once did one for the A2A mustang back in the FS2004 days.

'Twas I methinks....!:kilroy:

Progressing slowly - I hate doing camo!:banghead:
 
This is what I've done so far... 67-14866, a Cavalier Mustang (minus tail extension) one of a batch of nine actually sent to Guatamala, in an SEA camo carrying the tail codes of an A-1J unit. Bombed up and going to war!

Put on a bit of alpha and spec shine. Camo scheme could be better n'es pas?

DaveQ - looks great, been waiting for a SEA Mustang. Any chance you could include two versions? One with red spinner and one with the spinner the same colour as adjacent camo.

Cheers

Very cool! would love a stripped off version like the one in the first post...just national insignia and white serial number...PLEASE???
 
Back to Basics....

Stripped off the decoration and most of the shine. The code AF67 866 is more representative of 1967-70 than the DCS one so I'm digging my heels in on that one!:a1310:

Will post as soon as I can.

Thanks Dave, she's looking real pretty. For me SEA camouflage seems to accentuate the beautiful lines of the Mustang which, I suppose, is the total opposite of what is intended.

A little off topic,But since this thread is full of Mustang aficionados.........Which is the better P-51 for FSX A2A or Warbirdsim?Which features put one or the other over the top?

Having both, the A2A Mustang will require you to really learn the plane. Warbirsim is a great model but when I get a flight completed with the A2A P-51 without bending anything or blowing up the motor I feel accomplished. It is a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you won't find a boring moment. Hope that helps. Also the A2A forums help with in house P51 pilots and all the info you need to know......just my two cents

I can confirm that. There is also a lot of additional variety between the two. If you have all of the WBS models there are many cockpit variations. With the A2A there are two versions, military and civil - which adds another dimension if you like Reno Air Racing.
