To continue with the idea of putting her back in original condition.
It hope the nose art reflects the time. Simple, straight forward & sorta plain.
Jack who thinks the Glacier Girl artwork mars the paint job.

I agree, Jack. THe Glacier Girl nose art looks too modern. I also dislike a lot of the nose art I see today that is perfectly airbrushed. Not a lot of that in the field during WWII, although I'm sure there were a few.

I vote for the Big A$$ American Flag or Col. Mossie! I'll give you $50 cash to put the bomb cat on it! :wink:

Fun stuff!

The airplane is looking good!

I vote for the cat or a nice 40's style pin up, no stick figures. To quote a song"Fat bottom girls you make my rockin' world go round".

I'll pitch in $50 for me and another $50 for Col. Mosquito if you go with his artwork!

I think this picture says it all..."This is my aircraft!"

This has all the makings of a fundraising windfall!

Gary, imagine if you went with Col. Mossie on the nose. The real Mosquito could then tour with the plane, and for $5 folks could have a polaroid of Mosquito and themselves by the Lib's nose. Another $15 gets one a noseart t-shirt.

I think it's about time our favorite hangar cat got an agent. :wink:

That's a great idea Dan! Gary could also fashion and install a special litter box for when nature calls on those long flights to airshows. :lol:

Geez, and I thought Mosquito was difficult to work with now. :roll: :lol:

Sorry guys, but the elected staff made the vote weeks ago regarding the nose art for Ol 927, and there were no cats involved...especially Mosquito. :lol:

While I don't know about Mosquito, I do know that his predecessor, Col. Spitfire, did not do well when he stowed away on FIFI several years ago, and it was not fun to clean up...... :?

Having also a couple of cats ( Airbus and Boeing ) and going on tour every year with the squadron for a couple of weeks, I'll be happy to take care about Mosquito while on tour :D :D :D
