P-51 wings: silver paint or natural metal ?
AFAIK, P-51D's had their wings painted silver (upper & under surfaces)
before delivery, while the fuselage remained with a natural metal finish. OTOH, I've seen some pics of WWII P-51D's with wings in natural metal finish. On a scale modelling forum, someone pointed out that "... the covering on the wing was not very stable and started to peel so they just removed it and that is why you see so many P-51D's with natural metal wings". Does that make any sense? Any other thoughts? Tks.
