Re: Primer colours
Yes,
red primer is well known, and the allies used it.
Still, considering the war situation, is it really likely that the germans opened jars of a standard metal primer and covered spots of unprotected metal like I do on my car?
I find it unlikely they left parts of airframes unpainted (under surfaces) and at the same time tended minute damages.
What was the RLM instruction for protecting (in field) spots of damaged surface treatment (color)? I doubt there was any instruction, as any a/c having damaged surface protection were supposed to be sent to specific overhaul facilities acc.to Mr Merrick in his new book.
Isn't it more likely that most, and maybe all, red primer painting was done after the war?
