Reflected Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Hi All, I have a few dozen P-51 Mustang skins in the user files section. Since I made them, I learned a thing or two about texturing as well as how PBR works, so I realized they weren't as good as they could be. Therefore, I updated all of them: - I fine tuned some of the colors to be more realistic - I adjusted the albedo of black and white. Black was too dark, white was too light. Now they look more natural. - I improved the weathering layers, corrected some texture errors in the template - Most importantly, now all metal surfaces behave as fully metallic, and I played with the roughness to achieve a natural look. Likewise, all painted surfaces are now fully dielectric. - I also learned that most part of the P-51's wings and rudder was painted with DuPont aluminum lacquer, then polished. Of course, this paint eroded with time, but it was not fully dielectric to begin with (like on the stock skins), it had mostly metallic properties, and the difference between the lacquer and unfinished aluminum was more subtle. Without further ado, you can download my Mustang skins here. I updated the files, but didn't bother taking new screenshots. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea.

Antix70 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Excellent work on the skins! They look beautiful! Would it be possible to add another 31st Fighter Group? The Flying Dutchman, HL-N, tail number 418500. Flown by someone I once knew, Lt Col Robert Goebel. It will be 10 years since his passing on 2/20. I'd make it myself, if I knew how!
Reflected Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 Already done! I read his book and I loved it. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1953735/ 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Antix70 Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 I had no idea! Recently, his son, Robert J Goebel Jr put up a website to preserve his fathers legacy. There are new versions of the book available too (audio, e-book, etc)! https://mustangace11.com/ Really nice work on the skin!
flavnet Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Hello everyone and congratulations to Reflected for his wonderful works (I was really happy with his beautiful F-14As !!!). I have attached photos and a profile of a famous P-51D: Charles "Chuck" Weaver's pony. Among the many skins of the P-51 - strangely - I never found this one which, moreover, was made famous thanks to the illustration by Shigeo Koike on the box of the perfect Hasegawa 1/48 kit. The "Passion Wagon" was Weaver's mount prior to the one that is the subject of my post. If it were possible to make this skin I would be really really happy! Thanks anyway for the wonderful work!
Reflected Posted November 9, 2021 Author Posted November 9, 2021 Thanks a lot for the reference photos, nice Mustang! I have my hands full at the moment, but maybe one day. 2 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
