Like it alot bentwing. Esp your story on the forums that you painted one that was kinda mid paint, before it had recieved the cheques etc. Great job

Thanks, Lewis!

I really wanted to do some 99th P-51s, but I just can't get the blue and white check cowl band figured out. When I found a couple examples without the checks and only a blue band, I decided to "cheat" a little and do one of those.

All in all I think it turned out OK.

Yeah you can just use someone else's scheme for a guide. Use your paint program to copy their scheme on top of yours, reduce it's opacity level, then you have a handy guide I created the 364FG nose stripes for my schemes by using Lady Alices 357th Checkers as guides

Took her up for a spin today. Really like her bentwing. Great repaint and not bad for one of your first for the stang, not bad by any stretch of the imagination! And I think it makes an interesting choice without the checkers in this case.

Thanks, Lewis! The paint kit deserves a lot of the credit, but I'm having fun!

Hi Folks:

I've just uploaded and update to "Tall in the Saddle" here and at Flightsim.com to fix a bunch of problems with the alpha layers.

Hopefully much better than the previous version.
