pat d Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 What colour were the fuel caps forward of the windscreen painted? I have been looking at photos and the wartime machines of this period and it seems to be the colour of the surrounding camouflage. Quill in P9450 seems to match the camouflage. Restored warbirds / museum A/C go from natural metal to gray-green to camouflage. Any more definite ideas out there? Thanks (again) Pat D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat d Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Wow! Thanks for this, this is a goldmine. Lots of good points and photos, and to be honest having Edgar Brooks take on something goes a long way in my opinion. Again my appreciation for sending this my way.
