From the instructions: " Entire upper surface a camouflage combination of light and dark greens mixed with light and dark blues. The upper surface camouflage colors blend into the bottom surface colors which is a combination of pale blue and light gray...spinner is light blue". Drawing on thevast knowledge of our members savvy in such matters, does anyone have an actual reference to such colors actually being used? I know a red spinner is correct for the Mediterranean theater but where was blue used? Are there any references for the markings used on USAF Mustangs during the Korean War? And finally, were any of the bubble top Mustangs in British camo? Thanks.

The radio and base are provided in paper cut outs which I used as patterns to make them out of wood. The wood headrest is painted red brown.

With a little work the belly cooler should look good.

The distinctive undeer fuselage oil cooler is in two vacu pieces. I added a balsa former just behind the intake for strength.

I added balsa filler in several strategic placed on the fuselage for strength. The cowling is vacu formed and requires some filling for smooth fit.

The decals by CAM I bought from a mail order house provide markings for James Howard's DING HAO! in 1/24th scale. Howard shot down six Japanese a/c while with the Flying Tigers and Six German a/c in DING HAO!

From the internet I printed my aircraft color reference which I taped to the wall next to my build table.

The Dumas P-51B is very close to 1/72 scale which will allow me to use after market decals. I cut the top of the box off so I could use the box as a parts tray. The one page plans are excellent with numerous thumb nail drawings to help the builder.
