when I did a Google search for P-51 bald eagle, I saw dark blue ones and Olive ones too.

By doing what your doing, skinning the plane with P-51D skins, the plane will not represent any real A Series P-51 as panel lines etc will never line up properly. However as is makes for a fine Stand Off Scale and an apprecible likeness. with more work on your part, one could toggle between a Mk1A and a Mustang II which could carry wing tanks or 550 lb bombs .I am building the model so it can use any CS (with minor tweeks) from the g5 P-51D mustang and newer so it is a place holder. The one shown is the bald eagle scheme (my favorite). I will either make a full custom scheme or use the raf scheme as a starting point.
Any color issues at this point in the build can be taken up with who ever made the bald eagle scheme of knife edge software.
Just a quick question, how much of the P-51D "n" map do you plan on keeping on the final completion?By doing what your doing, skinning the plane with P-51D skins, the plane will not represent any real A Series P-51 as panel lines etc will never line up properly.

Pics are bare metal with some changes in panel lines, a whole lot of work, and also the base color for Tunisa in 1942. Keep chipping away at it.View attachment 128504

For the sky terror mk III I have some ideas for designs. They are some very obscure planes that I took a liking to that might not need a full build. and if people had a preference one could be finished quickly

Looks great.
Some tempting color schemes as we wait for a shot at painting your modelLooks great.
wow. that is such a beautiful airplane.For your viewing pleasure...>>>
Yeah, it was 2007, visibility has always been a problem with tail dragging warbirds, all of them were, minus the P-38 & P-39, until the jet age. One thing they also did was to weave the plane left and right to stay on track while taxiing, it would give them a sightline down the taxi way, while the plane was angled in either direction while doing that.
observations:
- Nobody was holding smartphones. That had to have been made in the 2000s or earlier.
- I really noticed how the pilot can't see anything directly in front of the plane while taxiing! I noticed a lot of white objects on the side of what must be his runway, which are probably all that he has to guide where he's going when he's on the ground.
