Thanks for following Thomas. The decals only gives the white crosses. So i have to paint the stripes but to be honest i always paint them, like i paint the D-Day stripes on other planes 😄👍

Thank you J35J and Spanjaard. After emergency landing in switzerland the swiss air force interned this P-51B for Tests. During WWII all swiss planes had this painting, the neutrality markings.
