As requested a few weeks back (been working on and off, when I can) for "Little Friends I", this is a repaint of P-51D-25-NA 44-73444, Italian AF MM4323, as it is preserved and on display in Italy. I just have to stamp the placards for the cockpit with all of the correct numbers, and then it will be uploaded. Having been used to the authentic filled and silver dope finished wings for so long (where there shouldn't be much detail at all showing), I'm rather liking these examples with bare metal wings and all of the detail that becomes present as a result.
The real aircraft has a rather unusual line to the glare shield, but I copied it.
