I'm on this. Also one of my favourite 'what if' schemes. I remember the debates around whether the Cavalier Mustang was suitable as an SEA close support asset alongside the Bronco and Sandy in the late 1960's. It lost out because of its vulnerability to ground fire though its range and on-station loiter time made it very appealing. And the DCS paint pattern looks better than most of the actual ones used!

I'd also like to do an F-16 style repaint for it too. I know its odd but my love of the mustang carries on. Someone once did one for the A2A mustang back in the FS2004 days.

DaveQ - looks great, been waiting for a SEA Mustang. Any chance you could include two versions? One with red spinner and one with the spinner the same colour as adjacent camo.

Cheers

This is what I've done so far... 67-14866, a Cavalier Mustang (minus tail extension) one of a batch of nine actually sent to Guatamala, in an SEA camo carrying the tail codes of an A-1J unit. Bombed up and going to war!

Put on a bit of alpha and spec shine. Camo scheme could be better n'es pas?

DaveQ

Very cool! would love a stripped off version like the one in the first post...just national insignia and white serial number...PLEASE???

DaveQ

Stripped off the decoration and most of the shine. The code AF67 866 is more representative of 1967-70 than the DCS one so I'm digging my heels in on that one!:a1310:

Will post as soon as I can.

Thanks Dave, she's looking real pretty. For me SEA camouflage seems to accentuate the beautiful lines of the Mustang which, I suppose, is the total opposite of what is intended.

Having both, the A2A Mustang will require you to really learn the plane. Warbirsim is a great model but when I get a flight completed with the A2A P-51 without bending anything or blowing up the motor I feel accomplished. It is a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you won't find a boring moment. Hope that helps. Also the A2A forums help with in house P51 pilots and all the info you need to know......just my two cents

If you have all of the WBS models there are many cockpit variations. With the A2A there are two versions, military and civil - which adds another dimension if you like Reno Air Racing.

Slightly OT, but here's something from my wishlist:

or another Cavalier/Piper conversion

If memory serves, at the time of the 'Mustang Tales' release, John considered doing the Cavalier Mustang (tip tanks and tall tail) but the Airacobra has taken over since then.

Well, I hate to burst everyone's response (so far) on this topic but quite a while ago (well over a year ago) I purchased the A2A 'Civil' version, flew it for about an hour and put it back in the box (so to speak) - HAVEN'T flown it since !!!

After I put the A2A away, I went and got one of the WBS P-51 version's and that has been the only P-51 I've flown since !!
