One last thing Rock.
I forgot to mention that when a P51 came off the assemply line ,it was moved to an area where the wings were first sanded.
After that an application of light green primer paint was sprayed over it.
When that was done it was again sanded with a lighter grade, then it got a final two coats spray of silver paint,so what you see really is a duller
looking silver that the exposed clean metal Fuselage.
Dont be fooled by these beautifully restored Mustangs.In many cases they have been electricoated and buffed up with wax.
In the theatre these birds did not look like that.
Here is a pic of a no fillet D. I'm sure you've seen it before.
This pic says it all when it comes to doing the forward panels and cockpit area which is just as important as tackling the wings
Love this pic.
Sorry about the huge resolution..
Cheers,RDDR
