Ok, just downloaded it and been for a quick spin. This is easily your best work to date, Bolox. The gauges are fantastic and the all round texturing is superbly done. No issues to report so far and I haven't been shot up yet so can't comment on damage. Really very impressed with this, keep up the good work.

Looks beautiful. I'm not sure what is possible with a cockpit repaint. Is it possible to alter the gunsight (not the reticle) so that it looks more like the stock N3 sight that was installed?
- bolox - 16.12.2008
thanks all for your comments,glad you are all enjoying it
- but please don't go trying to get shot up as i haven't done the damage layers yet-damage files are the originals awaiting attention.
gunsite:- ideally this needs a new mesh to work properly which is a skill set i really need to learn :oops:
something like this would be more fitting?
have tried just repainting but so far it's better to leave the original but i am looking at it :wink:
another point raised in original WIP thread was red mag lever- that is a no go i'm afraid as the lever rod is reused as the iron site posts which look funny if red.
B model i did some work on last night and seems fine, just some minor heir edits to align the slipball and clock hands as also done in the C/mustang III- comes from using photos of orig gauges as templates to paint them- big thanks to JAMF for his USAAF set as i used a couple of those as a basis- should have put that credit in orig post :oops:
gonna be working away for a few days so all updates will have to wait till next week when i can hopefully finish off

Hi Bolox
Great cockpit! I'm glad to see someone working on the B\C! One thing I did notice though is that the entire instrument panel should be black, not just the inset piece that holds the actual instruments.
Now if we could just get a MKII Gyro Gunsight and +25 lbs boost gauge for the Mustang III!
Thanks!

That sight looks good. Here's a pic of the N-3B that was factory installed in the P-51B/C. The circular scale on the left side was usually removed in the field.[/img]http://www.warbirdsite.com/P-40bombinghead.jpg[img]
I've never posted an image before so if it doesn't show up I'm sorry.[/img]

You've got the image tags backwards, do it like this:
