I have to admit, the Cotton Candy pink on a P51 makes me shudder as much as the White, Pink, and Gold FM4 Wildcat that appeared around 1973. Fortunately, someone with sanity rescued the Wildcat from its' purgatory, and repainted it in military colours during the 1990s.
As for the car bonnet: it is a very nice image, and beautifully executed. Though I can't help but think of a lass I once knew, who looked very much like the lass illustrated, and who could and did weild a Katana, Shinai, or Bokken with consumate skill. She was a colleague of mine, at the time. @ Rich: I'd not hate a man for an opinion or contribution such as that Pink P51 pic.  I'd seriously question the sanity of the person who chose that colour for the aircraft, and put the poor suffering machine through such painting purgatory. Kind and Respectful Regards my friends, Uyraell.

Anybody here ever hear of Sue Parish and her pink P-40N? She was a well known air racer and one of the founders of the Kalamazoo Air Zoo......
She based her planes paint scheme of the fact that P-40's that flew in Africa during WWII would turn pink after a couple of months in the African sun.. Check this link out: http://media.mlive.com/kzgazette_imp...6f4ee7716.jpeg SFX

Heard of, but not until now, seen, Swampfox.
Thank you for the link, a most interesting image. I can confirm the "Desert Pink" colouration on WW2 P40s in Nth Africa. My uncle frequently saw the aircraft. Kind and Respectful Regards SFX, Uyraell.

Anything U.S. with racy noseart, Dave!
And given the postwar use of the "D" model, there's plenty of other possibilities- Sweden, Israel, Guatemala, the USAF in Korea and in Guard units stateside (many very colorful), El Salvador, South Africa and Australia flew them during Korea.... I've got some color profiles I could share. Wyvern

back to the model design....
Got cmags doing a wing test build for me and I am doing another wing build myself (tonight). Just tweaking and fine tuning things. In preparation of a new wing to attach to my fuselage I assembled the gear and doors last night. Still rethinking the attachment bracket for the gear door. Not quite the real thing, but because of the scale of these parts I was trying to do something a little easier to assemble. As I said, I am still rethinking this part. other than that, the gear looks okay and the raised panels for the doors works well too.
