P-38 or Mosquito?

[Erich]

another 34th prs F-5 off their site

typical P-38 in the special blue paint with the bright 34th prs red markings.....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i believe the standard RAF recon colours were either dark blue or this kind of beige colour..............

 

[Erich]

it was called PRU blue, no beige at all. Sometimes the a/c were overall blue, other times over all aluminum silver

I think the original P-38F's in the standard US colours look best; with the navy blue on top and dark blue-grey on the underside.

i prefer RAF paint schemes to the american ones...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

I dont. However, the P-40 looks very good in RAF colours.

Not beige, PRU pink. I've seen it applied to some Spits

[Maestro]

Yeah, just like the Spitfires FRIX from the 16th Squadron (RAF) wich flew over Normandy beaches on D-Day. They were recconnaissance planes.

What a horrid shade of pink Actually I wouldnt even call that pink, id call it brown.

B-29's look best in Silver 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

olive drab's best on B-29s................

 

[cheddar cheese]

No, Olive Drab for B-17's; Silver for B-29's.

I think I'm gonna vomit...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Why?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

because you actually think the B-29 looks best in "silver" or neutral aluminium to give it its proper title..................

 

[lesofprimus]

Yup....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

so you agree with me les??

 

[lesofprimus]

Yes I agree with you Lanc.... The only 2 planes that I found sexy in aluminum were the P-51 and the P-47...

I am not, I repeat, NOT a bomber fan.... Flying Death Traps..... Manned target practice....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i prefer bombers to fighters................
