Zrdavím kolegy modeláře a mám dotaz. Chtěl bych si postavil čtvrtkový Mustang RAF z Alžírska a nevím, jestli se jednalo o P-51 nebo F-6A s kamerou za kabinou a jakou by měl letoun mít kamulfláž.

Na IPMS Stockholm (http://www.ipmsstockholm.se/home/camouflage-and-markings-of-north-american-p-51-mustang-part-2/) je nápsáno:

"As can be seen the aircraft is a standard US P-51 model including the rear cockpit equipment, and of course four 20mm guns in the wings. The camouflage is reported as being the standard RAF Mid Stone and Dark Earth on top with Azure Blue undersurfaces. The fuselage roundel is a crude adaptation of the original USAAF star marking and full squadron codes are carried in white. The propeller spinner is the standard Mediterranean Theatre red; also note the yellow outboard leading edges on the wings; this was a common feature on many desert painted RAF fighters."

Jinde se jako kamufláž uvádí Olive Drab/Middle Stone/Neutral Gray a postavené modely jsou s kamerou, což text výše a obrázek nepotvrzuje.

Jak to tedy bylo? Mám v kitníku 1/48 Accurate P-51 a nevím, jestli nakonec nebudu muset koupit F-6A.
