So what was the general impression of the Stang in the German's eyes?

This page from IPMS Stockholm explains a modeler's findings on this exact aircraft, T9+CK. He chose the later, bare metal scheme. He also states the top color was OD, originally.

Another page from ARC gives a little more detail about the exact colors of T9+CK. (I'm desperately trying to find a source that discusses a dark gray topside)

Small assortment of captured P-51 schemes, including T9+CK.

Still no page I've been able to find that includes Luftwaffe pilots' opinions...

While the bare metal would be a welcome addition to my shelves, that white/yellow scheme would hit the spot, too.

A superb piece of die cast IMHO. Presentation & packaging and attention to detail is second to none. I thought that I'd enough P-51s until I got this one as an afterthought. Up to now Berlin Express was my favourite Gemini but this one is giving it a good run for it's money!! Recommended

Nice, but I'm broke

I also have no interest in captured warbirds. Also, as far as WW 2 aircraft, I realize many countries flew aircraft from other countries such as P-51's with British markings or Spitfires with Ameican markings, but I have no interest in them either. To me, they just do not look right.

The P-51 was designed and built on a British Purchasing Commission order and saw first service wearing roundels. Thus, one could argue it just doesn't look right wearing stars and bars!
