arg Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'm about to start Accurate Miniatures' P-51A, and I'd like to make "Mrs. Virginia" of the 10th AF. Many photos show a natural metal/aluminum spinner, wingtips, and horizontal tail tips, along with the front upper tip of the vertical stabilizer. Other portrayals show a yellow spinner, and the P-51A restored to flying condition by Planes of Fame shows a yellow spinner and no natural metal/aluminum wing and tail tips. (I have to admit the yellow is more attractive in giving the scheme some color.) Were both both schemes used during the war, or is the yellow spinner just misinterpretation of black-and-white photos? Any info appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird3a Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Page 64 of the SAM Publications on the Allison powered Mustangs has a photo, and it doesn’t look yellow to me. Looks like an aluminum spinner by the sheen. HTH, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
