A2A P-51 IS HERE!

[Lewis-A2A]

Beautiful repaint Stiz





I took her in the snow, made the flying that extra bit special with lower temps etc. I love a good simulation!

I haven't got this yet. As I already have a couple of the Warbirdsim packages I'm currently torn between getting this new P-51 or the RealAir Lancair. Funds only permit one new purchase, alas. So which one to buy first? Decisions, decisions.... Anyway I have a question about the P-51. Will Jankees paints for the WoP2 version work with this new package?

No, the paintkit is completely different.

Not my place to comment on the choice, but I can confirm no repaints from the WOP2 model will work on the WOP3 model.

However we do offer a complimentary skinpack + paintkit here;

And repaints are coming thick and fast on our forums;

Heres a video that Jigsaw one of A2A's community members and customers created with the mustang and a slightly tweaked moonshine repaint;

A couple I was working on when my OS went kaplunk. Uploading this weekend.

F-51-D FF-728 flown by 1st Lt.George Lukakis USAF CHICOPEE, MA who was killed in a crash in Taegu,Korea while setting out on an operational mission in a different aircraft NOVEMBER 6, 1950.





P-51D Mustang Lou IV serial 44-13410 E2-C, flown by Col. Col. Thomas J. J. Christian, Jr of the 375th FS, 361st FG who was shot down in this aircraft and killed in action in
engagement with German fighters.

Almost done with this one. Just a few tidbits to add to it, then will upload.

Wow, talk about shiny. Thank's for the response about Jankees paints.

Any chance of a "Blue" version of LOUIV (replacing the green with blue), grady?

BTW, if you look at Martin's quote on our TEAM page here (which is in serious need of updating btw):
http://a2asimulations.com/team.html .

You will see we quoted Martin as saying "I would like to let you know that I love criticism."

Let’s face it. The "art" of simulation is the combination of both art and science. And it's quite common for the rare / gifted artist to also be "difficult" to work with. Then, every one in a while, someone like Martin comes along.

Martin has been listening to customers and working to improve the textures to deliver the best type of model for the paints people want most. He doesn’t study drawings, but rather real aircraft, usually as they were during operations. Therefore he creates that nice weathered metal you see on many photos. You can see this on our P-47 and even the 377. However, many people who love aircraft relate to those very shiny aircraft seen at airshows. These are those planes that an entire crew works for days, making it polished and buffed to perfection.

So Martin has once again, listened, and delivered.

Scott.

I own em all and it comes down to what you think you will fly more often. Since getting the A2A I have not flown the Warbirdsim Stangs. I give the "you are there" edge to Realair thats oozing with sensory details but I am flying the A2a more often. Its just deeper systems wise"more buttons,switches,levers.... and besides I prefer the smell of old aluminum. The Realair is kinda like a modern mini P-51 with all the creature conforts and you have company. You know you will end up getting both so I suggest flipping a coin. Cannot lose either way so its win win.

Is this kind of what you had in mind, the warbird version?
I was working on this with the green version still have to find a photo with the registry number clear enough to read and some other details should be done soon.

There is a little mistake in the LOU IV. In wartimes the E2-C had ATHELENE on the right side of the fuse instead of LOU IV. ATHELENE was Col. Chistian's crew chief Pete Army's wife.

Secondly, the letters are larger in the original
