Is this an actual WWII P-51 skin?

Can you get a smaller picture?

I was so tempted to fire up photoshop and resize it by 10%, just for the lols.

I guess Steve might have a larger version.  It's from his avatar.  It'd make a b****in skin to fly with.

Tough to see any markings.  If I was guessing it's a photo of an early P51D-5 without the fin fillet taken on a photo flight in California from the factory.

Why? It's just a bare-bones P51...
Am I missing something?

Just the anti glare black patch on a bare simple skin, with a matching prop hub.  That just looks plain good.  Don't remember any skins like that.

Dan - I think it's a die cast model.

It's a prototype testflight coloring. Each squadron added their own colorings and/or markings on the basic testflight scheme. No bare testflight scheme was used during wwII with P-51D-X model. Smallest addition to the testflight scheme was to paint single elevator stripes and single front wing stripes to wingroot with same color as the engine cowl color used. And of course plane identification markings. I dont recall which squadron used this paintscheme, but I will check if I can  find the reference on this one.
