B-17 warbird decal sheet

[Steve Nelson]

I'll throw out another vote for Fuddy Duddy (in 1/72) as it was the first B-17 I ever flew in (the other being Aluminum Overcast.)

There was an original wartime Fuddy Duddy with the same nose art, but I read somewhere that she was lost before the group began using the distinctive yellow tails and colored fuselage and wing bands.

Right now we are working with;

EAA "Aluminum Overcast"
Grissom Air Museum "Miss Liberty Belle"
Air Mobility Command Museum "Sleepy Time Gal"
CAF "Sentimental Journey"
CAF "Texas Radiers" (contacting this week)
General Lyons "Fuddy Duddy"
Collings Foundation "Nine O Nine"
Yankee Air Museum "Yankee Lady"
Palm Springs Air Museum "Miss Angelina"

I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Here are the B-17's confirmed for this list so far. This means that either the owner gave permission to use it, or it is an actual WWII scheme.

Grissom Air Museum-Miss Liberty Belle
EAA-Aluminum Overcast
Nine O Nine
Fuddy Duddy
Air Mobility Command Museum-Sleepy Time Gal

Looks like I'll have to start thinking about stocking up on B-17 kits. Do you know what scale you're going to do?

[mustangdriver]

We plan on 1/72, 1/48, and yes even 1/32.

[mustangdriver]

Just an update, we can now add Yankee Lady to the list of confirmed!

[Warbird Kid]

1/144, 1/144, 1/144!!!!!!!!!! Please OH Please OH Please!

[mustangdriver]

HAHA I wouldn't rule out 1/144. I will let you know

[WIXerGreg]

Any news on the decals?

[Steve Nelson]

I will definitely buy a sheet in 1/72!

I got a question on this sheet. How up to date or accurate would the markings be for each aircraft? Or would they be how they would have been in WWII? For example, sentimental journey has the movie camera kill markings on her nose, how bout civil regestration numbers or the CAF tramp stamp?

[mustangdriver]

We are having the sheets worked up right now. The plan is to have everything to make the aircraft look just as it is today. We are using photos taken at last year's Thunder over Michigan. The one thing we are not sure of is the CAF aircraft if the will e on board or not.

Any news hereon the decals? I'd love to see "liberty Belle" added, seeing as how she burned this morning. I'd like to build her as a memorial of sorts.

Count me in for a set of Nine-O-nine in 1/48! Starting the build soon.
