how about this one? "daddy's girl" - fits most pony pilots right?

the colors aren't too clear, the nose is green... olive drab anti-glare, blue rudder and a thin white stripe around the spinner.

I wish someone would do this one. 457th FS, 506th FG flying of Iwo escorting B29s in the summer of 45.

The Enchantress. Can't think of any better nose art for a 51

Very nice Waffle!

Most of those would be easy to do....I actually turned in 2 for submission, with the second being "My Achin" (insert donkey / ******* picture) lol.

My main goal with this 51 was a third test of a different metal look. Honestly, The white / grey for metal didn't look right to me. This may not look right to some, but it's seems to have depth / reflective properties of natural metal. Granted the 51s only natural surfaces were the wing controla areas / rest was sprayed with aluminum lacquer.

Anyway - the view from the cockpit is great, especially with the lighting effects...

I will post a few pics below.

The wings look incredible from inside the cockpit, WTG. The plane looks a little bit too purple to me though

Very good otherwise

acepilot2 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 11, 2004, 07:31:25 PM »

was going to say that. Is incredible, but desaturate it a little bit so it isn't as colorful looking.

this can be very simply done.

Waffle · « **Reply #12 on:** March 12, 2004, 01:09:03 PM »

Yeah - the more I look at the stills posted here it's starting to seem too "colorful" to me....

But, when I look at it when its moving in the game....damn it, it just looks good....lol
