Even the guns have been 'repainted' to match. : )

Another lovely repaint John! I'm will hhave to start to make choices as the number of great repaints for this excellent model is getting out of control!

About :Sweet and Lovely", one small question; weren't the wheel well doors painted red on the inside? When I look at the picture from the real thing you posted here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?55310-New-P-51D-Mustang-Little-Friends&p=610896&viewfull=1#post610896

It looks like that at least the front of these doors is red.

Cheers,
Huub

Thank you Thunderbolt, and thank you Huub! Because a few other small parts are mapped to the same texture that the inner portion of the gear doors use, I couldn't paint that area red without having a few random parts show up red as well. ; )

Don't worry John as you won't see it with the gear up. As said it is a great repaint.

Cheers,
Huub
