Fine. Crap all over my picture. Angry

That's what it said on the planes list in CFS 3. P-51D "Berlin Express".

Thanks for the comments, guys. GrabClipSave really helps. Wink

Nice pic man. A-36 never sereved in the ETO, and I believe it had an Allison engine, and not a Merlin.

No thats a actually a P-51C

Note the difference in canopies. The one on the top is a P-51B and the one on the bottom is a P-51C.

Here's a better pic of a P-51B

No, the B could be fitted with the Malcom Hood canopy. The B and C were basicly the same, just made in different factories, I believe.

That canopy was only used a few times on the British versions if I remember correctly, but it wasn't the only one they used...
