P-51D as seen in the movie "Hart's war"

 A skin of a P-51D seen in the movie"Hart's war", with Bruce willis. At the early beginning, 2 P-51 make some straffing over a german train station. I don't know if it's an historical livery or not; i couldn't find any historical info about this plane, but i found it really nice. I worked the weathering to make it look like a real combat plane. A no number version is included in the .zip.
