I'm fairly new to ac as I have been building armor for the past few years. Were the prop tips on Allied aircraft painted on just one side or on both?
Thank you.

They were painted on both sides. Some Japanese aircraft like the Nakajima KI-84 "Frank" had prop tips painted on both sides also. Hope this helps some. Russell
P.S. Remember, the Germans in WW2 didn't paint their propellor tips at all. I guess they thought if you didn't know their was a prop running out there....well...
