Here is a skin ive been working on. Passion Wagon is part of the 357th FG.
Weathering is not complete. Squad members were wondering what had happen to the development so i decided to show it. Suggestion are welcome, please dont request templates for modifications.

(Edit: Images were taken by the one and only BBQBOB!)

Thanks

about 75% of rivets redone as well as 40% of the Panel Lines
All done with tons of research of photos and descriptions. I am also lucky there is a couple of Ponys based in ND.

I know the panel and rivets are different today compared to the 40s, but i tried to stay as original as i could.

Looks cool except for the caricature of the Native American, that's just as offensive to me as the swastika

hmm?

Very cool Navajo, I know how hard you worked on this skin I watched you put many hours into it. But you may want to swap the swastikas with iron crosses, that would be the right thing to do.

not at all interested in templates but if you have close up pictures of rivet patterns of the real P-51 with good detail I would love to see them. still trying to decifer the fuselage rivets from pics I find on the internet.

btw add this or some version of it to your folder to get rid of the metalic glare... into a material.txt file.

0.259,0.259,0.259,Ambient

0.250,0.250,0.250,Specular

Hey Navajo did you ever submit this fine piece work to HTC? I think it is the best one here.

If he ever did, they would have problems with the nekkid lady. I saw some other skin get turned down for the same reason.
