Slartibartfast Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Jenning's and Tourist's drawings are correct. Want to see for yourself? Buy "P-51 Mustang: From Production Line to Front Line". Several period photos of wings during assembly before silver paint was applied. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously some sort of recognition light...but why? Edited March 15, 2020 by JohnEB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Not an expert but probably used to keep you from getting shot down as you approach the airfield for landing. Some sort of prearranged combination of lights to let people on the ground know you are a friendly? Geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Signaling lights to ground folks. Meaning base crew, infantry, Marines, friendly AA, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedArrow Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Discounting all the crap on top of the wing, does this South Korean bird still have puttied upper wing surfaces? Edited October 26, 2021 by RedArrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Sure looks like it. Not all were stripped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cbk57 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Lots of discussion on how it is supposed to look, now how do you putty your wings? I just failed on mine. I tried a mix of filler and thinner, spread it all over the wings and when I shot my primer every single rivet and panel line were visible just as if I had done nothing or nearly so. I used a solvent comparable filler by MiG like Tamiya’s. So last night I bombed on a heavy coat of primer on the wings and will have to sand again. I don:t mind if some rivets show through and some panel line as this is a model and it adds visual interest. But I want them subdued and inconsistent. My first effort they were all showing.
