Colour of 359th FG noses

[Alte Hase]

Hi all,

Just a quick question, does anybody have a reference for the colour used on the noses of 359th FG Mustangs? If possible, a Humbrol or FS number would be fantastic! Thanks!

According to Squadron's Air Force Colors Volume 2, it would be green. Don't have a paint reference but seems similar to Glenn's (T-Bolt) Millie P build.

Do you man a such P-51D? A few others you can find here... Aircraft illustration

If you do, the colours are said to be the Medium Green, approximately FS34259 ( Humbrol 97 ) for older machines and FS34138 ( Humbrol 131 ) for these newly painted planes.

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks! I'll be popping down to the model store for some Humbrol 131!
