Looking at the profile in your original post and then looking at your panel lines ... from the cockpit back, there are some real obvious discrepancies ... not sure who or which one would be correct.

I have a template for a P51B/C profile that I keep tweaking as I find out more or get better photos. 

I think it's fairly accurate for panel lines.

OK ... looking at your left hand profile ... compared to Dan's ... it's the "red" cap that is throwing my eye off ... your position is not the same as Dan's ... I hope you understand that I am not trying to be nit picky here Larry.

No. I can use any suggestions you guys have. I'm still pretty new to skinning Allied planes and need you guys to help as much as you can.

Aux. Fuel Tank cap, I believe.  It looks one panel to far forward on your profile vs. The profile of a P-51B/C that Dan posted.

Looks good ... one more thing ... the font being used "on the side of the plane" ... it doesn't look the same as the profile or the black & white picture you posted.

I believe the squadron code, B6, should be in front of the star/bar on the right side with the 0 behind.

If it conforms to 8th AAF regs, yes, the right side should read O*B6

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
