I decided to finish this skin and took a bunch of screen shots of it today.  Tried to try to turn one of them into a vintage-looking color photo:

Skuzzy, you guys made a great choice for the default P-51D.  Cactus' work on that skin is superb. 

This is good news.  I'd be happy to finish up "Down for Double" and submit it, when we are able to submit skins.   Is there any chance of retiring some of the older P-51 skins to make additional room?  I was working up a few different bare metal schemes for the '51D, trying to learn how to get the feel of bare aluminum without adding much environmental reflectivity, which to my eye makes the airplane look a little too much like modern day airshow-quality polished aluminum.

Here's another unfinished one, from the 55th FG:

I really wanted to fly KATYDID

Hanging in there, can't complain.   Looking forward to the scenario coming up.

No idea anymore. The HA forum got purged and I haven't flown since 2014 I think.
