Re: P-51D Paint Process

Great question. Excellent thread. I hope more information is out there.

The early P-51Bs that went to the ETO were all green. By the time the 'D's arrived the bare aluminum Mustangs were the norm. Was this a, "weight of the paint" calculation that drove the change or was it a rush to get the aircraft shipped?

Thanks!
