The North American P-51D served Israel Defense Force's 116 Tajeset squadron in 1956. This model was originally crafted using cinema4D version 9.5 and is detailed enough for close-up renders. The zip file includes bodypaint textures, standard materials, and features an organized scene with 21 textures, 2 materials, and 1 alphamap. The scene requires no additional cleaning up; simply drop your models in and start rendering. No special plugins are needed to open the scene either. Phong shading interpolation/smoothing is set at 35°, and separate parts for flying and standing versions of the model are included. Note that the obj, lwo, and fbx files' alphamap for the propeller in the fly-version must be manually loaded into the material/opacity channel. The model contains a total of 132,460 polygons and 8,5069 vertices across 31 objects, including 21 textures, 2 materials, and 1 alpha-map. The obj, lwo, fbx files, and file version 2010 are also available. The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a single-seat World War II fighter aircraft designed, built, and airborne within just 117 days. First serving in the RAF as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft before being converted to a bomber escort for raids over Germany, it played a crucial role in ensuring Allied air superiority from early 1944. The P-51 saw service with Allied air forces in Europe and had limited use against the Japanese in the Pacific War. It initially served as the main fighter during the Korean War but was later relegated to ground attack roles due to the emergence of jet fighters. Despite this, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
