Downwind66 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I have many of the P-51D aircraft, but had trouble finding a "B" model. Found this "B" model on the Simviation site. Quite the color and the cowling art really sets it off nicely! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I can imagine you like this P-51B Rick. Model and livery are very nice, I'm off to check it.:cool::cool: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankees Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I've always been a fan of the P-51B, but this model looks a bit simplistic for my taste, and that paintscheme is also not too high on my wishlist. However, there is always the (payware) P-51B by Warbirdsim, made by P-51 guru John Terrell, for which I made quite a few repaints. Here's a few of my favorites: jk9252 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr jk8914 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr patty166 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr E2106 by JanKees Blom, on Flickr Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here.

Downwind66 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 JK - Simplistic, you say? Payware? When I find something worth sharing in both my computer or on this flight sim forum, my criteria is not weather it's pretty or it cost me anything to be able to share with others. Below is a P-51B that is not going to win any beauty contests or cost me anything to have it for my own use! My criteria is, does it fly the way it should, and if I can't fix any short comings the developer might have left, it WILL GO to file 13 regardless of how pretty it is! It may not look pretty to you, but, I can see a lot of potential in it as a keeper, not just yet, though! When the time comes for me to consider it a keeper, it will still look the same, and I have not a dime into having it. But, it will be fine, as long as it flies the way it should! And, JK, I do appreciate your opinion just the same! :rolleyes: Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Looks great Rick! How does it fly? Michael Michael - It does fly fine now! If you are interested, I can tell you what I had to do to get it that way! Just PM me and I'll get back to you when I can! Thanks for commenting!

ColR1948 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sometimes I like the worn beat up look over the nice shiny models, they look more real. I know at air shows we get the old aircraft that have been looked after and are nice and shiny but there are times when that shoddy looking AC is your pride and joy. Col.

Downwind66 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Exactly,, Colin! You hit it right on the head of my thoughts! Thanks for commenting AND, this worn beat up look has a permanent home in my hangar! It won't win any beauty contests, but it will put a smile on my face!
