Re: Question for the 8th AF Fighter Group or 56 FG experts.
The noses were All Red. The rudders were painted blue for the 63rd. IIRC they did their 'rudder thing' when the rest of the 8th painted cowl band and rudder band the same (Mustangs), kept spinner color (red for 4th, white for 355th, blue for 352nd, etc)as before, but the 56th retained red cowl band for all three squadrons.
To clarify the 56th had red cowl od rudder through ~ May 1944 when NMF came into play, then red cowl band - no rudder color, then red cowl band and red, yellow and blue rudder in fall of 1944 whether OD or NMF overall scheme.
