Wow!!!
Awesome work, I am truly impressed

Fantastic! Beautiful repaint. :thumbsup:

[ptownhiker]

That is a sweet paint job.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

What a cracker Thomas.
It really is the bee's knees.
Rob.:thumbsup:

[Sulring]

Very sweet! Is this a repaint of a WoG model ?

[flash]

Well overdue & what a great example to start with !

[Doug]

Great work:thumbsup:

[Thomatchef]

Thanks everyone for the great comments. It's your appreciation for my work that keeps me going!


Very sweet! Is this a repaint of a WoG model ?

Yes it is.

[OldGuy59]

Thomas,
Sorry this took so long, but I made up a P-51D Plane template from scratch, to amend a Max Headroom card. So, color schemes for other P-51Ds shouldn't take too long.

Anyway, this is what I ended up with, hope it is useful:

Don't know how but missed this. Shame of me. Great looking card! Will be sweet to use it! Thanks

Preparing for new silver B-17? Nice one, Thomas, it will be really cool :thumbsup:
How it goes with your Schwalbes?

With this mustang I have al the ingredients to run my game at Prague. Only if I could.play test it once more... I'm afraid my only testgame was not sufficient to fine-tune gameplay.

[Marechallannes]

Die hübsche Susi!

Great repaint, Thomas! :salute:

Your work always impresses me.

...and Mike delivered the plane card immediately.

Time to fire my double-barrel-rep-gun! :mad:


Just a note: I think you need to shorten the plane card a little bit. The measurement is from ancient times, whem WoG gamers didn't kno if they'll get longer plane cards or longer maneuver cards for faster planes. Maybe we can can change the plane type from P-51C to P-51D. :takecover:

Very nice

Thank you Sven!

Didn't noticed it yet that the card was to large. Sure that Mike can fix that in no time :p. Since I'll presume you'll be flying a Dora during the mission it's up to you to shoot it out of the air!

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

That is a great repaint,love the 'sweet sue II' on the engine. Great card to go with it Mike.

[scats]

Bravo Thomas!!!

[OldGuy59]

Thank you Sven!

Thomas,
I didn't notice the length of the card within Photoshop, as I don't compare card length with other cards while working on them. I just "assumed" that it was right.

So, I went and compared image sizes, and you're right. 2.833 inches vs 2.657 for my Bf-109 card. That required redoing the background, the firing arc, and a few adjustments to positions of the graphic layers. Anyway, this is the 2.657 inch version. Hope this is better.

[jmkinki]

Greetings!

A friend of me give me as a present a few minis of the same scale than my WoW/WoG planes. One of them was a P-51D Mustang. Unfortunately, I don't know the mini manufacturer... if somebody knows it please inform to me about it.

I have found in Spanish forum a friend that paint minis at a good price. He has sent my Mustang painted a week ago and I'm very impressed because he has made a great job!

I bought some accesories from aerodrome to complete them and, here you have the final results. I hope you like it!

I selected HO-L P-51D "The Hawk-eye Owan" flown by Lt. Dean Huston, 352 FG, 487 FS.
Here you have some photos together my WoG P-51D (ref.WGS107C) from Ellington.

They look very smart flying over your landscape.

Your friend is an excellent model painter, Jose.

Nice start on that Mustang!

Here's a file that contains info on a similarly marked P -51 ("The Millie G" coded CY-G) from the same unit: http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=2106

[Caveman]

Hi Christopher, Thanks for letting me know about that page. It's always makes painting even more interesting when you know more about the subject.

[fast.git]

Sure! I've put together several of them, and should have more in the pipeline in the coming weeks.

[Flying Helmut]

There certainly are some pretty schemes for Mustangs - looking forward to seeing the finished article.

[Caveman]

Well, here it is. I decided on a wing man too. I used Model Master paints and made some of my own decals using Testors decals paper and some generic brand (preferred the generic). Some of the letters are from I-94 Decal Details and some of the stars and bars are Shed Models.176672176673

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Very nifty looking aircraft Dave.
Thanks for adding them to the thread.
Rob.

[ptownhiker]

These models look good, Dave. I trust that the tailfin detail on the silver and green plane is one of the decals you made?

[Caveman]

Thanks Rob and David.
David - Yes it is. I had an old decal sheet from a 1/48 scale model. I used my computer to scan and shrink it. Then I doctored up it up for use on this aircraft.

[fast.git]

Great looking pair of Mustangs!

I must learn how to make my own decals... add it to the list of things I need to do. :dazed: I suppose if I give up :sleep: I can add a few hours of productivity to my day!

[Barkmann]

Nice planes! :thumbsup: I guess the P-51 is that kind of plane that looks good with every scheme and every color. Great job guys. :)

Beautiful Mustangs, by the way!:thumbsup:

[milcoll73]

very nice all! the p-51 is such a lovey bird! i especially like old crow and gunfighter. its nice to see minis representing actual a/c ive seen on the airshow circuit.

[Caveman]

Thank you for the kind words gents. Making your own decals can be time consuming - at least it is for me - and dangerous... The other day I was working on a "Red Hot Riden-Hood" (nose art for a B-24) and the wife walked in. I tried to tell her it was art, but I still sensed disgust and maybe even a little jealousy. Anyway, I definitely prefer ordering from someone else when I can, but some projects are kind of fun and sometimes necessary in order to get what you want.

And two Mustang IIIs of 19 Squadron somewhere over France, early May 1944. Shapeways FUD models (AE Models) with AA prop discs. Paints used were Vallejo and Italeri, while the decals were from Mehusla (the set is intended for 19 Squadron Spitfire I/IIs in 1940-1941; so far I've used it for 1942 Spitfire Vs and 1944 Mustangs flown by the squadron. One of these days I'll put it to proper use :) ).

A couple of AIM P-51B's, "Ding Hao!" and (with an attempted modification to the canopy) "The Iowa Beaut." The Ding Hao decal is actually 1/144 scale - nice to actually be able to see what I put on the side of a fighter for a change. 226921226922

[Dak21]

Here is my first shot at some P51s. They are from the 78th Fighter Group. I took some artistic liberty with tail and tip colors for ease of game play. The correct color is black.

The decals were very challenging to get lined up. That was way harder than the very basic paint color scheme.

[Teaticket]

Lots of great Mustangs. Great work guys! Makes me itchy to get some to paint.

[Dak21]

Thanks Peter. I was really happy with the windshields. Whenever I look at Mustang, or other bubble cockpit pictures, the windows always look dark.

Using the slick metal paint as the base allowed the paint to flow nicely for a realistic look. When I use blue background, the wash absorbs into it and just makes it darker.

[badlands122]

Very Nice!! Those are AWESOME!!

Nice Mustangs!:sAprvd:

Best I can find for these planes is:

Lieutenant-Colonel John D. Landers, 84th Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group, P-51 Mustang (WZ-I, serial number 44-72258) nicknamed "Big Beautiful Doll"

Lt Herbert L Boyle, WZ-J ('42?) “Old Smoothy” (P-47)

Lieutenant Quince L. Brown, WZ-J "Okie" ('43) (P-47)

WZ-K of Lt (later Capt) Warren Straley, 84th Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group ('41?) (P-47)

[Dak21]

Thanks for the kind words about these planes. I did wipe the paint off the canopies about ten times before I liked what I had. I have to thank Peter Landry for giving me some tips that made these come out as well as they did.

As for the historical markings, I just went with the letters that came in the decal sheet. I wasn’t trying to match the planes to pilots, just making game pieces to play with that look similar to other planes during the period. I knew that letter”I” was accurate as I found pix of that plane, then just went in alphabetical order after that, ”J, K, L”. Tip and tail colors are just to ID the planes better in the game.

[Naharaht]

Great painting everyone! :thumbsup:

Simple paint job. Testors acrylic Aluminum and French Blue. A bit of charcoal (prefer this over a jet black). These are Micro Machine minis I worked over. Decals by blood-red-skies.284953284954284955284956

Essentially they are toys. The company is called Galoob. The first ones I obtained were small scale ww1 Tanks Renault and male Mk4 (I think) Painted them up and used them for eye candy at convention games. I noticed the P-51 on evil bay and at 3.99 said why not. I was happy with the scale when I compared it to my ares one.

yeah, i got a couple of the ft17s for my tanks game. while it was nice to not to have to do any assembly or painting the scale was a bit off. they were advertised as 1/100 but theyre a bit smaller.

More "Blue-nosed" from BRS box::serious:
Note that the P-51 BRS are clearly too small (wingspan of less 5 mm):confused:

But always a pleasure to paint mini models of this fabulous fighter::cool:
