eraucubsfan Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just picked up some F-51 ILL ANG decals for an F-51 Mustang. I was wondering if anyone has any or know of any good reference photos, I can only find one. I am trying to figure out the color of the spinner and if they had un-cuffed propellers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a tan color to me but there isn't anything out there for colour photos with a quick search to confirm. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dekls-da48049-f-51-mustang-169-fighter-squadron--1305583 I would say this F-51 has the cuffs due to the darker areas at the roots. Compare with this photo. The UTAH and CALIF birds are uncuffed while the NEV is. https://laststandonzombieisland.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/f-51d-mustangs-of-the-utah-california-and-nevada-angs-in-1948-144thfightergroup.jpg Cheers, John Edited April 13, 2022 by CF104 Fix links Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hi John- I was able to find out some information through a P-51 Facebook group. Yes, those are the decals I have. The spinner is a actually a copper color. As for the propellers, it was mentioned that they had both, so either would probably be okay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
