The North American P-51D-5-NA, nicknamed "Cathy Beloved," was a World War II fighter aircraft belonging to the 55th Fighter Squadron and 20th Fighter Group in late 1944. The model has been intricately detailed for close-up renders and is available in cinema4D version 9.5. The zip file contains bodypaint textures and standard materials, featuring a model with 20 textures, two materials, and one alphamap. This scene requires no additional cleaning up, as users can simply drop their models into the scene and start rendering without any special plugins. Phong shading interpolation and smoothing are set at 35°. The file includes separate parts for flying and standing versions; however, users must manually load the propeller's alpha map in the material/opacity channel for the fly-version. This model is also available in obj, lwo, and fbx formats, compatible with c4d R11, R16, File Version 2010, and featuring 151,170 polygons, 10,566 vertices, and 31 objects. The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat fighter aircraft designed, built, and airborne in just 117 days. It first flew in RAF service as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft before being converted to a bomber escort for raids over Germany, ensuring Allied air superiority from early 1944. The P-51 was used by Allied air forces in Europe during World War II and saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. It began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter but was later relegated to a ground attack role when jet fighters took precedence early in the conflict. Despite this, the Mustang remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
