The detailed model, ready for close-up renders, was initially designed using cinema4D 9.5 and includes bodypaint textures and standard materials within a zip file. Inside the scene, you'll find 23 textures, two materials, and one alphamap with no additional cleaning up required. The model is Phong-shaded at 35° and comes in both flying and standing versions. Note that the propeller alpha map must be manually loaded into the material or opacity channel for the fly version. This model contains 151,170 polygons and 105,662 vertices, divided among 31 objects. The file is compatible with obj, lwo, and fbx formats, and it's versioned for 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. It first flew with the RAF as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance plane before being converted into a bomber escort for raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944. The P-51 saw service with various Allied forces in Europe during World War II and even had limited use against the Japanese in the Pacific theater. It began the Korean War as the main fighter of the United Nations but was later relegated to a ground attack role when jet fighters took precedence early in the conflict. Despite this, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
