I’m doing a batch build of four Arma P-51B/Mustang III kits, one of which will represent KH516 flown by Kpt Jerry Mencel DFC, 309 (Polish) Sqd, RAF when claiming a Me 262 9 April 1945. The kit markings show red on the area immediately around the gun ports but the symbol used for that particular red is not listed in the paint list, only US Insignia Red as used for cockpit details.
My question is whether this red gun port area really indicate the red patches commonly used by the RAF to cover gun ports or is it actually a red painted area? I suspect patches but am hoping for clarification
