P-51D 356thFG/361stFS Capt Donald Strait "Jersey Jerk"

Great skin for the Stang. There is one I would love to see as well. "Stinger VII" for the Pacific as one.

I'm working on that one, actually, but I'll pass it off to anyone who wants it.

Much as I preferred the lighter, bluer blue, I darkened the blue diamonds, rudder and trim toward Insignia Blue in keeping with previous WWII color photo of the '51D from the same Group.  I also faded the insignia blue disk a bit.  Thanks to Lyric for the portrait photo of Major Strait standing near his plane; I was able to add some detail and variation to the aircraft name lettering which wasn't so apparent in the profiles I was working from.

Looks even better now, great work!

I agree, that change in the blue is an improvement.

Is Fortress Europe FSO?

No, Fortress Europe is a bomber campaign style's event that Nefarious runs. It's usually 8th AF, but he does other designs occasionally.

When and where?  Sounds fun.

There's one tonight based on the Dieppe raid in 1942.
