I am finally moving again on my P-51B. Everything is assembled and ready to paint. I wanted to start with some black primer, but that made some of the markings a little more difficult. This plane has a yellow tail and yellow stripes on the wings. The yellow portions have a thin black like separating the yellow areas from the khaki. Before painting the yellow portions, I sprayed a thin layer of white. Spraying the yellow directly over the black would have been a disaster, so a tiny bit of white solves the problem. The nose has a red section and a white section. So, with the initial painting done, I plan to let it dry for 24 hours, mask everything off, and then work on the khaki/olive drab.
