Nice! Thank you for this nice plane, will try it out very soon

A Brit Mustang Mk. II AKA P-51A. Apparently the Brits only got 50 Mustang Mk. II. This Mk. II is from the 2 Squadron, Royal Air Force, Beny-sur-Mer, France, August 1944. This and other low flying Brit Mustangs (Mk.I and Mk.Ia lacked upper surfaces stripes.
A question for all:
Should I add the guns back to the engine and give them there own texture and use an Alpha layer to remove the engine guns for the P-51A/Mustang Mk. II but removing the alpha layer will let someone make the Brit only Mustang Mk.I that used engine guns?

I would not use an alpha . Rather just make separate models for the specific versions.

Good Morning Allen,
just for fun I downloaded the plane and to see what it gives in fs9
Very well indeed.
for the moment I just chanded the original vc bmp to the copy one,
looks a bit nicer
reduced a bit the brakes power and added a tailwheel lock.
As the 2D panel --- I fly her with the VC with the change I did.
If you have a nice photo from the real A-36 cockpit I will be interested to make a 2D panel
But would this be of use?
Thank you
Well done
Yours
Michael Vader
Ps Joined a photo of a two seat version
Thank you for another fine model.
Allen,
Great work!
Thanks for sharing!

For now I'm trashing the Mustang Mk.I because it users another set of wings with one 50 cal and two 30 cals.
Anyway, I guess P-51/Mustang Mk.Ia with the 20mms

The Collings Foundation P-51 was a normal P-51 tell 2002 and 2003 it was built as a 2 seat version and The Collings Foundation 2 seat convert isnt what the real war time 2 seat P-51s looked like. There was no room for any panel or controls in the real 2 seat P-51s

I hope that one of our talented repainters can provide a repaint of one or both of these aircraft –
Lieutenant Michael T. Russo from the 27th FBG
Lieutenant Ross C. Watson
Please . . .
Thanks for the new "early" Mustang models
Nice variety in the paint jobs too
Thank you Allen! I am looking forward to setting these up in my installs.
How do you go about making them? What modeling and paint tools do you use?
Beautiful, thanks heaps Allen, its great having the (nearly) full development of such a great aircraft. Don't know if you've seen that a Mosquito and a P51d Mustang flown by the RNZAF were located some time ago an a shed in Nelson NZ . While the Mossie was brought up to engine running status and is in the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre in Blenheim NZ, the Mustang has been brought back to flying condition and has had recent flights out of Ohakea RNZAF base. https://youtu.be/Uhr__ZBYUt4 is worth a look as to history

I wanted to make and upload with Lieutenant Michael T. Russo's "PAT" A-36 but I couldn't find any real pic of the aircraft and I see conflicting paint profiles of the aircraft when it comes to roundels and the large tail ID "B3". The roundels could be red outlined or just had the red outline but freshely painted over with a darker blue. With the tail ID it is full bright white or very faded/washed out white. Also "PAT" is seen in model kits with both wings having stars. This seems wrong for a mid war aircraft to have.
If anyone can find a real pic that would help.

3D Ripper DX to Blender 2.79/2.78 + add-on script, Edited in Blender. Than exported from Blender as .dae and loaded into ModelConverterX 1.50 (MCX) to be exported as .3ds (old). The MCX exported .3ds is loaded into gMax for assembly than exported as FS2004 model. MK_MDLC and MDLC for 64bit system is used to convert it back to CFS2.

Thanks Allen!
Another question. What is the gauge that is immediately to the left of the altimeter? I am missing that particular one.

This came up too for the Mossie

Browncoat:
The gauge that is 3d modeled on the left of the altimeter is a IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) Contactor Gauge. It is just a static object since CFS2 can't make use of it.
Rohan:
Started on A-36 "PAT". Looking at other 27th FBG aircraft they had full white tail IDs and by early 1944 red outlined roundels where gone as the red outline would be brighter than the OD and Blue in BW images. Still no idea if "PAT" was 4 or 2 stars on the wings. I would guess by Dec. 30 1943 when Russo bagged 4 and 5 to become an Ace that "PAT" had no red outlined.

Haven't seen that. All image for the nose art I have seen show the woman as solid white color. This is the 1st time I'm seeing the nose art as "Pinup" art.
EDIT: Added the Pinup art and made the tail ID taller to match what is seen on other 27th FBG aircraft.

wow . . .
thank you for making another attempt at this plane's livery,
