P-51 Mustang with rare cammo

[Guest ericthered1975]

The link below brings some photos of a P-51 Mustang applied with an experimental paint scheme. Does anyone know the name or if this cammo was used operationally?

Google "P-51 splinter camo" & I am sure you will find plenty of info.

can we really call it camouflage if it sticks out like a sore thumb?

the idea is that the chunks of contrasting colours break up the shape, from a long distance it doesn't look like anything. now everyone goes for grey as the video feed is in black and white...

Ft is right. The Profile of the aircraft becomes less defined. A Zebra probably works on the same principle. Nev

Much like the warship camo from the same era.
