Here are a couple of shots of some work in progress.
The first is the D model.
2nd shot is the H model that is undergoing restoration at the Chanute Air Museum.

YaP51 (Yet another P-51 model) ;)

But seriously, those look very nice.  Is there a VC?

And just FYI, this should probably be in the 3D Design forum.  Don't worry, a mod will move it momentarily (I think).

Nice lookin' model. Let us know when it's ready for the lesser-talented of us to crash it on takeoff...

Are these for MAIW or a different project?

Some classic military AI would be sweet, and go great in my Golden Wings & Silver wings installations. ;)

Shane,
These are for my personal use.
I may upload the textures if they turn out to be good enough.

I stopped in at the Chanute Museum last year and saw the P51H for the first time.
A few months ago they revealed the new paint.
I try to keep up on the progress of the restoration by visiting their website.
The guys are doing a really good job considering lack of funds and the fact that they are manufacturing quite a few of the parts on their own.

The museum really is worth the entrance fee of only 7 dollars.

BTW, MAIW did release an F14 package last year. That's about as retro as it gets....for now. :-)

Shane,
Have you tried using FS2002 and CFS 2 & 3 aircraft as AI?
They're not as bad on frames as using FS9 flyable models.

Wow, no! I never even thought of that. 8-)  Plenty of options to choose from also.

 Thank you very much for that tip. ;)

Kevin, please don't link images from other sites as it slows down the forums for other users.
