So here is Paul I - Founder of EAA Paul Poberzny's personal aircraft. It is P-51 mustang (Actually I think the museum history points out that this aircraft went through some changes in designation frm an F-51 to a P-51 and back to an F-51 again. Anyway, this is very close to the paint scheme I have decided I want use for my aircraft - except for the yellow. If any of you have suggestions about the color for the nose,OTHER THAN yellow or red, that would pop well with the sky bue and the gray, then letme know. Oh, the nose art has also been decided upon, but I am going to keep that to myself until te project is completed to keep it a surprize.
I'm currently trying to settle on a primer solution/method so I can begin the tail construction. There are many different methods to choose from,which makes this decision all the more difficult to make. Epoxy or Etching primer, anodizing or leaving it all alone to save weight - UGGGHHHH!
Anyway, I am scheduled to attend a sheet metal class up in Broomfield, sponsored by the EAA, during the weekend of Sept 12 and 13. The more practice I can get, the better it will be for my project. Picked up some blue and gray paint that closely matches the color on Paul I, and I will use this to finish the paint job on my tool box. Matching plane and toolbox - what a concept!
