Is there a specific mix or is it free for all?
TIA, Richard

There are supposed to be 3 different blues, depending on when the aircraft is being modelled.  This will give you some details

 

if you do some googling you will find out more,  Hyperscale have discussed this a few times

Wow! It's :worms: time again! There has been a lot of discussion here on BM about this very subject, so you might do a search for 352nd FG Mustang blue nose color. I have attached two links to  discussions and articles that might be helpful. It does seem that there were two different blue paints used, depending upon the time frame; if you look at photos of 352nd FG B's and D's, I think you will see that. Good luck!

Wow! Just now noticed the little birthday cake icon- too cool! Today is my birthday, 71 years old and still kicking! I'm God's older brother, I guess. Pretty sure the filler I slapped on the last kits I was working on (1986 believe it or not!) should be dry by now! Nice gesture Mike and Julien, and appreciated!
