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...

great model, way better than my flying boxes

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. :-)

One of my favorite packs! (I have them all flying in FS9 & FSX

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.
