Hello P-51 Lovers!

 

We know you’ve been waiting patiently to see more of the P-51B, so today we show you what it looks like both inside and out! This new ‘Pony’ should be ready by the end of this month. It’s the Holiday Season and a time for giving, so there will likely be two updates in December! One with the new clouds and the DFWC.V and the other with the P-51B and maybe, just maybe new fuel systems and drop tanks for several Bf-109 variants. Of course, plans are subject to change pending testing. And as mentioned previously the Malcolm Hood has taken extra work to get it right, so that component is not ready to be shown yet. Without further delay…

Looking forward to this.

What a wonderful week this has been!, 2 DDs and a pre-order announcement. No community could claim to be as spoiled ?

Looks so much nicer than the bubble, but visibility is way worse. Looking forward though, interior modeling looks great.

What a beauty... ❤️

Very beautiful model of the B. Your 3D people do great work. I'm glad to see both the internal rear view mirror and the option for the Spitfire style external mirror are modeled too. I'll always favor the D but the "older" Mustang still looks great to me.

 

Just noticed too on the B that the exhaust shrouds are removed. Very cool.

 There are so many structural differences that in many ways the B and D are as different as the Fw-190D is from the A models. The tail and belly scoop from the B are really the only parts that were basically unchanged I think. Pretty amazing engineering accomplishment from NAA in such a short time.

Oh boy! She is pretty! 
 

 And looks like 81” confirmed ?

I wasn't expecting another DD this week after all the announcements!

Beautiful plane with very nice modeling and so many optional modifications, can't wait to take it out for a spin!

I'm also looking forward to that Malcom hood that gave the devs so much trouble.

I see some interesting cloud formations in those pics too ?

 

The cockpit signs remind me of american traffic signs, overly verbose ?:

This is great news. So looks like we'll get the clouds pretty soon.  :drinks: Can't wait!

NOW, you have my attention!

If she flies half as well as she looks we are in business. 
 

Can’t wait to see it with Don Gentile’s

Shangri-La skin!

The B/C is so much better looking than the D.  Can't wait to get her in the air.

P-51B is looking very nice, good work guys. 

 

I picked up the IAR-80/81 to show some support, I'll pick up the tanks later when I'm a little more flush. 

 

Have a great weekend guys.

Is the P-51B going to have separate boost limits for the USAAF vs the RAF?  Is this going to be done through mods, or based on nationality like the G-suit?  Is there any plan to retrofit the higher boost settings to the P-51D?  RAF Mustang IVs used the same higher boost limits as their Mustang IIIs.

Fantastic looking plane, I always preferred the look of the razorback Ponies. Really looking forward to this one

? That's already there.

 

I thought we had boost up to ~70+ with 150oct, but based on screenshots it looks like we have a 81 MP version here. I think that's what VBF is asking.

Yes, now I see what he means.

Will the new Mustang be available in the new QMB?

Yes, once it is released (and if you have pre-ordered Battle of Normandy)

You won't regret it - it is a charmer.

Jason, any thoughts or info on the performance differences of the B/C compared to the D?
