I believe you have something similar to this.  It appears they left it bare metal instead of white and used red for the rest of it.

I agree with Guppy.

That’s a tad unusual is it not?

Could be that's the paint they had on hand.  it's a 9th AF group so it would have been on the continent, not in England with a fixed permanent airfield to work out of.  That or maybe with the lack of color on those 51s, they wanted the kill markings to stand out a bit

Sound right.  I originally skinned them in an orange, faded to look sun-bleached.   I will try the red.

Thanks for the input and the sample.

Still working on other details, as well.
