The fuselage was natural metal, not painted aluminum. Metallizer (many brands available, everyone has different tastes for these) for the fuselage/ natural metal areas and painted aluminum areas should be, well... silver paint. I've had good luck with a 50/50 mix of MM Chrome Silver and MM Clear Gloss for painted aluminum. Others may chime in with different formulas. HTH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Floquil (railroad) Platinum Mist is perfect for the aluminum painted wings on P-51s (as from the factory). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 i heard on the p-51 that the fuselage was made out of dura aluminum is this true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
