and heres the finished repaint on the nose awaiting the new nose art....
okay well old nose art, we wanted her painted back up with a touch from the 70's and so if you have photos of her in 1974-5 youll know what imean.

and for those of you who dont remember or know, heres a photoshop copy of her new / old look. The girl of course will be updated to todays standards, and that doesnt mean more clothing....it means more detail:)

Have a good night!

Correct me if I'm wrong but the deflectors are for the package guns to deflect the blast away from the fuselage.
We got some for our 25 still packed up. I thought them so hidious I hid them until they were forgotten about then I sold them on ebay and put the $$ in the bomber's account. :)

Outstanding! I liked that old artwork a lot more than those which followed. Thanks for the preview!

Here's a look at the ship from the time period in question...
