This North American P-51D-5-NA model is titled "Flying Dutchman" and belongs to the 308th Fighter Squadron (FS) within the 31st Fighter Group (FG), based in Italy during 1944. The aircraft was originally modeled using cinema4D 9.5, providing detailed features suitable for close-up renders. The zip file includes bodypaint textures and standard materials. The scene features a model with 24 textures, two materials, and one alpha map. There is no need to clean up the scene; simply drop models into it for rendering purposes. No special plugins are needed to open this scene, which utilizes Phong shading interpolation/smoothing at a 35-degree angle. The file includes separate parts for flying and standing versions of the aircraft. In OBJ, LWO, and FBX formats, the propeller's alpha map (Run_Alpha) must be manually loaded into the material or opacity channel for the flying version. The C4D file contains 135,481 polygons, 86,814 vertices, and 33 objects with 24 textures, two materials, and one alpha map. Additionally, the OBJ, LWO, and FBX files are compatible with File Version 2010. The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat World War II fighter aircraft designed, built, and airborne in just 117 days. Initially serving as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft for the RAF, it later became a bomber escort employed in raids over Germany from early 1944. The Mustang saw service with Allied forces in Europe and had limited use against the Japanese in the Pacific War. It began the Korean War as the main fighter for United Nations forces but was relegated to ground attack roles when jet fighters took precedence. Despite this, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
