Re: P-51D Paint Process

Revi. This is the special wing treatment for P-51s, the photo shows the primed areas; final finish was sprayed aluminized lacquer over the grey primer. The heat-resistant panels round the exhausts didn't require treatment and usually look darker. Fabric surfaces were aluminized dope, rest of airframe aluminized lacquer ( min. 2 coats) or 1 coat camouflage.
