I have been splashing some paint around with the new high res paintkit for the P-51. I felt the Commonwealth birds had been rather neglected and decided it was time they were appreciated more. So far I have completed four bare metal paints and will be starting on camo ones shortly. Along with the aircraft I also changed the pilot clothing to better reflect the Commonwealth uniforms and made the correct shoulder boards for the correct aircraft so if you select a Squadron Leader's bird the pilot is wearing Squadron Leader's shoulderboards and likewise for the Wing Commander.

First up is an aircraft from 234 Sqn RAF.

Next are two aircraft from 442 Sqn RCAF, one carrying a Squadron Leader's pennant and the other a Wing Commander's pennant.

Finally an aircraft from 3 Sqn RAAF based in Laverino, Italy early in 1945.

I should have them packaged up sometime tomorrow and will let you know when they are available.

Actually Rob I need to speak to you on Skype next time you're on as I am having problems finding a few things on the texture maps and it's brought the camo version to a screeching halt! :roll:

I just uploaded the four repaints above (after making a few fixes so consider those screenshots as WIPs :wink:

) to the Sim Outhouse repository so they should be available within the next 24 hours once the Admins clear them.

You will find them either by looking in the 'Latest Add-ons' section or by searching the add-ons area using my screen name 'Tako_Kichi'.

I have my first camo paint done after spending days fighting with the paintkit :wink:

. At least I can use this one as a basis for more now so life should get easier from here.

This is based on the 'Vintage Wings of Canada' P-51 and more info can be found here.....

Enjoy!

I will try to get it uploaded to the SOH repository today.

Three more Commonwealth Mustangs rolled out of the paint shop today, this time for the RNZAF. All three aircraft are from the early 1950's as the Mustangs ordered just prior to the end of the war didn't arrive until just after the war ended and they were immediately 'mothballed' for six years or so.

2 Sqn RNZAF.

3 Sqn RNZAF

4 Sqn RNZAF

I will get them uploaded tomorrow.

I fancied a change from painting roundels and came across this little beauty while researching my other paints.

More info on this bird can be found here.....

I just uploaded the files to SOH so look for them once the Admins clear them.

I just finished yet another Commonwealth P-51. :roll:

This repaint depicts an aircraft of 112 Sqn RAF based in Cervia, Italy in May 1945. 112 became known as the 'Shark Squadron' after they first painted their Kittyhawk (P-40) aircraft with the shark mouth logo while serving in the Middle East. 112 Sqn got the idea from German Bf110s of the Zerstörer Geschwader 76 seen in Europe. This imagery was later adopted by many Kittyhawk/P-40 units and was perhaps most famously applied to the AVG aircraft in Burma and China. 112 Sqn continued with the theme when they switched to the Mustang Mk.III and IV.

I will get it uploaded to SOH later today.
