1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted November 30, 2020 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 This P51 is a work in progress and wow, it does take time. it is a brilliant template, the finishes are very very good and it can look very very nice. The piccie below really doesn't do it justice. However, the template doesn't come with D Day stripes, fuselage camo or two tone green on the wings. The time I have spent on this, upward of 20 hours, is taken in lining up wing/flap/ailerons/elevators/associated trim tabs colour demarcation. They are all separate components but aren't lined up on the template so require some trial and error to get them lined up. I am almost there...I have basic D day stripes ready for the lower wings and fuselage sides but the lower fuselage curves and is looking to be a few more hours. I am glad I started it now as if I had begun when we move onto P51s from P38s in Tom's campaign I would have regretted offering to do personal ones. Perhaps by the time we get P51s D Day stripes would be obsolete.... Cheerzen Added fuselage D day stripes....wow....nothing straight stripes are mostly curves. Had to match aircraft underneath with sides 🤪 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted June 30, 2022 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Still a work in progress but almost there..... Changed some colours, found a way to get the D Day stripes without making them, fiddling around with metal colours and reflectivity...a learning curve indeed. P51D is a popular aircraft and is pretty well covered with skins but if anyone has a request I will crack on with it. Shiny/dirty, silver/green/combination, nose colours etc., all good practice This official template is one of the best. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted June 30, 2022 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just spotted a booboo....fuselage drab is meant to be the same as the outer/inner wing drab.... 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
