P51b

[ink]

hey all....I was working on the "Big Mac" skin, but I shoulda looked into it for it is already in game 

anyways I am really happy with the bare metal that I put together for it, and now I am looking for some skins to put it to  any suggestions? would prefer it to be mostly bare metal...but whatever, I remember reading the game needs more PTO 51's I don't have knowledge on the 51's, were there 51B's PTO? if so what ones would be best for the game for scenarios and such?

some screenies of the metal layer with a possible 112 skin.....ignore the mouth not lining up I am still painting that

Since what you have got is almost the same as this one.
Little controversial as well it has some history though.

I was checking out "U've had it" that other is nice also

There were definitely P-51Bs in the PTO, but none had the Malcom-hood canopy we have on ours.  I would really like to see another P-51B added with the older canopy style.

Bonnie Bea is a great one esp. because that fighter group is not represented in AH yet!

Those painted wing surfaces are showing up in my monitor as a silvery-lavendar color.

Same here.
Also, I know that the sealed and painted wings are historicly accurate, but it kills the look of the wings. Please Ink, go back to the nicely detailed wing surface.

honestly I like the look of the painted wings, and just the fact that they ALL came like that.....I feel it needs to be done.

Looking good Ink.
You do know that captured aircraft won't be accepted into the game right?

you might be able to sneak the captured version in on a custom map...

Im gonna send both versions in when they are ready....worst HTC can do is say no.....this plane did see combat after it was captured.


custom map would be cool too.
