Gentlemen, you will see, the word "here" is in red, that is the link,

I've noticed that this type of link on the forum is not always obvious. That might depend on your browser. It might be an idea to use upper case letters or point to them like this ---> HERE

Hyperlinks are traditionally blue & underlined. I wonder if that option is available for YaBB.

Speedbird, you're doing an outstanding job with this comp, but you will probably want to make the photo a bit more obvious...you can add the [img] tags and it won't tax the thread. Wink

If you mean the Mustang photo it's posted on Anet. Copying it to upload here would be against their COPYRIGHT

Linking directly to it would be against forum rules.

Yes, it would be nice if someone had a go. If you're struggling to find the aircraft, post here and I'll attempt to point you in the right direction. Cool

Yeah I can't find an FSX texture for this particular aircraft.

It's a great looking photo, but I think it deserves the right paintjob else it just won't look right.

I concur there's a FS9 version of 'Old Crow' floating around the various sites but the paint scheme is the old one with polished metal fuselage.

no takers yet?
It's funny, I must have painted almost 200 Mustangs, but not this one...
There is a repaint for this one for the freeware FS9 model by Warwick Carter by Jan Visser: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004acrp&DLID=95884
but I don't have FS9....and no time to make the paint.

So here are two quick attempts, both with the wrong aeroplane.
Here is a D model with another camouflaged 357th FG paintscheme, "Little Duckfoot", so only the noseart is different.

and here is "Old Crow", with whitewalls, but also with invasion stripes, and besides, it's a P-51 B-model..

This is my attempt:

No, it isn't the right paint job. I attempted to make my own version but it wasn't going too well... My first proper paint attempt in a while.

It was a good theme, but the resources for the best outcome weren't available I don't think.

Hi all,
Due to the very low entry numbers, I have decided to post links to the aircraft here. If you are struggling to find repaints etc., ApplePie has kindly told me where they can all be found:

Here is a free P-51D.
http://www.simviation.com/fs2004vintage69.htm

I found a repaint of the aircraft after a bit of searching.

All those who have entered the competition before this post are welcome top submit a new entry as long as they delete their previous entry. Wink
