May I request !Swede´s Steed", I can´t remember the name of the pilot but he was a swede (or his parents were). I think he was flying both the P51-C and -D.

Hi Trooper! That 'skin' has already been made available for the game by another 'skinner' and to be honest... I don't think I can "beat" that work

Any other request... maybe

Thank you for so many very nice pony skins. May I request Jumpin Jacques from pacific theatre? I saw nice plastic model in magazine many years ago. Thatvwas first time I met Jumpin Jacques. I found in il2 1946 Jacques skin for mustang and another one in dcs but no in great battles. Well there is no Phillipines map in GB but fly in this jacket may be good experience over "pacificated" Kuban and try shoot down some Tonys

Hello, Would it be possible to create the "This is is it" skin for me?

There are already some other versions of this skin available, but none with the shine like on our skins.

Hey Uber... sure I can do that. It's going to take some time since I try to have a life outside photoshop  Thank you for those kind words.

It is  Thank you Uber. I'm currently working on 'Jumpin' Jaqcues' by request... it's going to take some time. I have to remake some stuff (a lot of stuff) in order to make her look like the original. I can't do that exactly how much I try due to limitations of the template. But, I do what I can. As soon Jumpin' is done I'll get started on THIS-IS-IT. Later buddy

Hello everyone,

Thank you Viper for your willing, effort, time and everything you used to create this jewell! Looks much better than I can imagine when I requested 🤩

My God Viper you're doing a tremendous job with these Mustangs. You're making an Axis main want to fly in an American plane, blasphemy!

Thank you David, much appreciated!

I feel pretty much the same way, being or rather used to be a member of III/JG53 Pik-As.

These birds makes me feel proud to be American... which is strange to say the least since I'm Swedish!

Viper, I think all the other skinners are on vacation or they have sacked it... because you seem to be the only one punching out skins on a regular basis!

Maybe the others are waiting for other templates to turn up

Trooper, you might be right... or there are not that many more to be made. It's hard (very hard) sometimes to find any info, not to mention decent/good pics for reference. I can only speak for my self, but if I decide that there's not enough "good/relevant" info and pics of a mustang... I won't paint it. But hey, that's just me

[Rjel]

The 354th was originally assigned to the 9thAF in December of 1943. It was then "traded" to the 8thAF for a P-47 group and a player to be named later.

Hi III/JG53*Viper,

 

I apologize for being such a perfectionist, but the serial number on the tail should be 463747.

Would it be possible to correct it please?

Thank you.
