AndyC Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Wellzy On the future group build this GB was listed as 'Mustang' but it is now 'P-51 Mustang'...does that therefore now exclude the F-82 Twin Mustang? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mish Thanks - I had run out of P-51's in the stash and to join I would have to buy one! I have the Modelcraft F-82 lurking and would like to do this for the GB, so it looks like this may be suitable after all Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Is the WIP going to be in here or do we have to place it in the other part of the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 As it s coming very soon now, I'm trying to decide what and how many. I have a two seat B conversion fuselage that may well end up as one of the colourful 4th FG birds. A D model, maybe in Canadian colours if the LE decals come out in good time or choose from my P-51 decals in my stock. All 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim T Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Doug and I were specualting the other day on the interior colour of RAF Mustangs. Were they Zinc Chromate rather than Interior Green? The Tamiya instructions highlight a mix of 2 parts yellow to 1 part green (which sounds suspiciously close to zinc chromate), but if anyone has any better ideas, please shout.

Wez Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 What colour were the interiors of post-war (e.g. Korean war and ANG) Mustangs? Did they retain the green or did they change the colour? Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Lime Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Can I pick the collective brains here please? Am I missing something or did the RAF not have a Mustang Mk II? The reason I ask is that all my refs make no mention of it, so was it a cancelled option? Confused of Aberdeen, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang II is a P51A - Allison engine, .50 cal wing guns only, fixed inlet to the radiator of different shape to the P51, carburettor intake has an inbuilt filter so its a bit fatter for some of its length when viewed in plan, I think the RAF received 50.

mungo1974 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Mustangs up to P-51D-20 were interior Green. Very late war D-25 and Post War D-30's were black interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although with only 50 supplied, there would only have been enough for a maximum of 2 squadrons + spares/attrition replacements, so I'm guessing these are a rare breed? Mark.

MAI for October 2008 had a series of profiles for Allison engined Mustangs, the Mk.II profiles are for aircraft from II(AC) and 268 Sqns.

ColFord Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 If you are looking for information on the four Allison engined variants of the Mustang used by the RAF, the following thread here on Britmodeller from a year ago is a good place to start. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...&hl=Mustang These other posts bring up information and detail on specific facets of types or sub-types: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...&hl=Mustang http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...&hl=Mustang http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...&hl=Mustang http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...&hl=Mustang One of the best sources of Mustang information on the web is the P51SIG. You have to join to get full access and ask questions on the SIG, but it is probably the highest concentration of Mustang researchers, maintainers, flyers, authors and modellers you will find around.

AndyL Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Kit ordered, and soon to start. Just a question....as I'm doing a red nosed 4th FG bird, I have seen references to 'Debden Red' being a shade specific to the unit. So, what red comes close?
