very very nice.. i think they used horses itch for splash screen on fighter ace game..

just a few pointers.
1 the p51d skin has some sort of light effect built into skin which give it that funny glow when you try any colour but silver..nothing you can do about that at moment, htc are aware..
2 some of your nose checks have apeared on windscreen..
3 i cant see any panel lines(maybe its the angle and lighting) but some , (even if they are only hinted) panels give a little bit of depth to what is a 2d pic..


but the skin is good to look at...well done

Usually the "glare" is concentrated on the upper cowl and wing area in such planes.

 Try giving a dark, deep shadow over those areas - that's not gonna stop the glare, but it can reduce the bright light effecting the colors of adjacent areas, making them look too shallow or funny.
