P-51B Skin

[SkyWolf]

Can someone do some really great B skins like we had before? Since I sucked, got worse with the Trakir, and started flying Bish.... I've decided to further handicap myself by flying the B.

Thanks in advance!

Performance wise, the P-51B is one the best fighters in the game.

It's only weakness is its guns and ammo load.

My regards,

Ya... that's what I mean. Enough performance to keep me alive...... bad guns and ammo load. You are correct however, the guns don't come into play as I can't hit jack feces anyway.

I must say that I'd love to see some more Pony-B skins put into the game... I'm getting addicted to that thing and like to see a few more options avaliable for it...

And since I have no skinning skill of my own... please oh please please oh please!

Im looking for B Pony skins to do.

Question is what one should I do.

Personally Id like to do either a color full one or a bare metal one. I dont wana do a olive dab one at least not a fully painted olive dab and I dont wana do a RAF camo one.

Im thinking of a RAF bare metal one but really Im up for sudgestions.

Do "Salem Representative", as depicted in the Osprey "Mustang Aces of the Eighth Air Force", plate 2.

looks good to me.

If anyone is  able to find a better profile and/or the emblem on it I would be really great full.

Yes

Is the top of the wings painted or bare metal?

Don't know, but pages 13 and 69 of the same book show what appears to be a "b" and a "d" with similar-looking fuselage colors and a painted wing.  Am currently searching on Internet, and so far have found:

Top of the wing was painted OD as was the spine of the fuselage and the upper parts of the horizontal stabilizer.

This was done when it was thought that some of the groups would be moving to the continent.  There weren't many done in the 4th that way, but Salem Representative was one of them.

Link to thread on this bird previously where I posted some photos.

Not positive on the font.  Since the 4th had real RAF beginnings, it might be an RAF font.

Try here and grab the RAF fonts if you haven't already.
