I'll have to reload the tuskegee paint, I just adjusted the color to look a bit more realistic.

I see this only now.
For a proper Tuskegee, you'll need to get rid of the killmarks, the QPN registration and the serial and apply the proper registration. Also, I don't think they ever flew camouflaged P-51's, so you'll need to go for natural metal. They carried no serials on those red tails, so you can leave that out.
Again, sorry to be so critical...

I don't see you as being overly critical. You are providing useful information that most of us, me first of all, most likely did not know. Historical accuracy is king, you know...
