Flt Lt Raymond Hearn's Mustang Mk III of No 112 Sqn, RAF:

1Lt Glennon Moran's P-51C of 487th FS/352nd FG in full invasion stripes (couldn't resist the full stripes once I saw it on the skin):

Will submit to HTC early this week if you guys like 'em and have no suggested corrections.

Thanks!

Just for the heck of it, here is the first 51B skin I did and submitted already - Lt Calvin Allen, 5th FS/52nd FG:

EDIT: Just finished Arthur Fiedler's 317th FS/325th FG for Col Stream's group and put it up at Custom Skins.

They look great Oboe

Only thing I'd suggest adding are the horizontal tail wing black ID stripe to HO-M that were standard at the time they were also wearing full invasion stripes.

Same place as the yellow stripe on your 52nd FG bird.

Thanks Guppy - I added the horizontal tail stripe. Not sure how to get the skin updated at the Custom SKin site without doing a resubmit tho.

Added a kite for the 325th, I think the Checkertails are the first AH squad to have every plane they flew represented (assuming they all make it in).

Thanks nopoop! Think I'll take a breather now and cool my heels.

UNLESS - can someone get me a scan of Duane Beeson's "BEE" P-51B nose art (not the BOISE BEE P-47 noseart)? Or ILL WIND?, also a P-51B from the 4th FG? (ILL WIND also has P-47 nose art that is different from the '51 noseart version). I played with the alpha masking and got it to work, and I think either of these two green 51Bs would be a good subject. The only scans I could make are from Osprey's book, and they are so small there is not much detail....

Whatever happened to Machnix? I love his 51B skin - its perfect.

Send lucull an e-mail with the updated zip and tell him what it is. He'll fix it up for ya, or at least thats what he said he would do If i ran into that problem.

Glad you like it! Its a kick to see a skin you've done flying around in the arena, for sure. Been flying that one lately myself.
