Well Jeff....I think the tail code for the 446th for Fearless Freddy would have been circle H, then the serial immediately under, and finally the letter Z at the bottom of the vertical stabilizers on the outside as seen in the background on the B-24 on this page. Oh, and FL on the fuse.

I didn't find any other photos either, however, if you have not already...there is an email link to the 446th historian who I am sure would know the answers to your questions.

And then, I bet this book would come in handy for what you want to do on the repaints for assembly ships....though at $50 price tag....ouch

Here is another book that may come in handy.

One last resort is you can email the contributors of the photos and information for the shots on B24bestwebs. The email links are on the photo pages which you probably already came across as that shot you posted is one of them.
