help with nose art on b-17 (1:200)

[Ätherwellen]

looking for help on the nose art of a b-17 on an otherwise completed recolor

It seems the art would go over 2 parts. Never done such a complicated design over 2 pieces, so just hoping for help



if this is in the wrong section please move it

Does this help? It's from Saturday.

this looks like fun. I'll try a stab at it this evening.


Do we know what is on the starboard side?

[Ätherwellen]

Thank you and i believe its the same art on both sides?

[aansorge]

Well, that is handy.


This scale is pretty challenging for a guy like me with fat fingers. Good luck.


The bombs are too small to draw at scale, but the big Air Corp eagle behind the cockpit windows might be worth a try. Do you have a picture of that?


My son's uncle flew one of these E or F models for the mighty 8th. His was no longer camouflaged, just silver. By that time, they did not have assigned aircraft, so no nose art was the normal.

Found a picture that i believe shows the wings

The artwork got pretty small indeed. I must get my building glasses just to see it.


Let me know what you think.

I did not realize this was the B17 that crashed this past weekend. I would not have been so glib had I realized it.


My heart goes out to the crews and family and anyone involved.

Yeah, it was bad. I was there.
