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?

thanks all for your comments,glad you are all enjoying it Big Grin - 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:

... and you'll get this:
