...what markings would it carry? Why?

I posted this a year or two ago and thought I'd give it another go around!

Duplicate Bob Hoover's 1967 vintage scheme, bright yellow, black stripes and Rockwell logo.

I like civilian schemes on warbirds. If it wasn't for all the people who saved warbirds to use as "civilian" aircraft, we would have far, far fewer flying today....Some that come to mind...the CAF B-24A, almost all F7F Tigercats, a lot of Mustangs and Bearcats, B-25's, B-17's, A-26's.

This might sound funny, but I want an all bare metal D model, national insignias, just like from the factory. Maybe just my name on the canopy rail. Or a B or C model in Gentile's markings.

I've actually thought of this before.

Two possibilities:

1. If it were a B/C
'Salem Representative'
Ralph 'Kidd' Hofer
334 FS/4th FG
8th AF

2. If it were a D/K
'(unnamed/ Eagle painted on nose)'
Glenn T Eagleston
353rd FS/354th FG
9th AF

P-51B................."Little Ambassador" Jim Empy.................5 kills. Italy 1944................Bare metal and never wash it, just fly the piss out of it and have fun and look authentic.

I'd research its history and then paint it in one of its actual wartime paint schemes.

Dean the originalist (is that a word? )

[oz rb fan]

one of the raaf 76sqdn operated at the end of the war in the pacific

[CWBuff]

I'd paint it in such a way as to make it look more like a real fighter...

It's probably want either an RAAF or RCAF paint scheme. Being half Aussie and half Canadian I think I'd like either.

Trading for a Hurricane also sounds like a good idea.
