Thats not what I meant. I MEANT was that paint-job on a P-51D while it flew in combat in World War Two?

There's an AH air racing forum on this BBS. It would be a nice change of pace to do some historical air racing schemes. I don't have a P51 template, but could do some F4Us or Spits if the air racers are interested.

Are we allowed to do skins just for Air Races here though? I have never heard that...

No. They are included in the map only, not submitted to HTC.

Do Spits actually get (or were they in years past) raced?  I've always wondered whether or not there was anyone interested in a skin of say Dago Red, Strega, etc.  I guess its a lot of work for something that would only get used for AHRL and then only when that plane is the race plane...

Would look cool though.

Spits weren't raced much it seems, but I found this picture of a bubble top Spit 14.
