If you are doing the P-38J  Droop Snoot bomb leader, or a P-38J gun nose, it can be olive drab over neutral gray, or starting in summer '44, natural metal. A P-38L will be in all nautural metal.  Full Invasion stripes were worn thru mid summer of '44 and then the upper surfaces had them removed. They remained until early fall '44 on the lower surfaces.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

NMF or OD. Depends on the aircraft you are modeling. Dig, Google is your friend. You should be able to located images of the aircraft in the theater of operation you are modeling.

He may not know what those abbreviations mean Gerald if he is new to the hobby.

I am not saying he is as I don't know him but he only has 14 posts so I am assuming. Wink
