After playing with metal tones, this is the best tone to work so far. I took the P-51 standard blueish metal tone and then darkened it about 25%. It turned out ok, with the higher shine there is a greater contrast with the much less shiny fabric control surfaces, couldn't do much about it. Per request I added a version with teeth. Also will include a subdued shine version. Will be for both B and C variants. I will just package it as one with subfolders containing alternate textures for teeth/no teeth, reg shine/super shine(different fresnels)...ala 'Stang Evil.

I will package and upload tomorrow.

That looks AMAZING!!! My only thought is I'm pretty sure the Planes of Fame P-40 has the roundels on all four wing surfaces, as was standard for 1940.

In a couple of weeks when I have a computer again I'll be picking this up for sure! :mrgreen:

Many thanks - a great work of art. I guess the rudder is fabric is it? I'd SO love to this paint with a full shiny tail, rudder and all.
