Re: George Preddy final paintscheme, is there any reference photo to confirm this image please?
In 2007, I published a booklet on Preddy's Mustangs with the able assistance of Sam Sox Jr. Complete with decals in 3 scales, the offering was released by Eagle Editions.
The booklet covers each of his P-51's, to the extent possible at the time. Included in the booklet are photos of his Mustangs, with supporting color profiles by Tom Tullis and appropriate blue color chips. A map was also provided detailing the action surrounding his final, fateful flight.
As pointed out here, there are no known photos of his final Cripes A Mighty capturing the entire aircraft in a single image. However, I did supply all that was available (4) revealing some elusive details. There are also comparisons drawn to Chub A Luk, another Mustang with similar markings maintained by Art Snyder.
