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

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

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

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....
