Hello everyone,
I'm a paper model designer from Poland. Currently working on a kickstarter campaign for my first line of products themed "War over Pacific" which will land on kickstarter next year and include Wilcat, Hellcat, Corsair and a bigger machine like a Privateer or Catalina, not sure yet. It's my goal to introduce some improvements to the hobby and I have one very specific question I find hard to find answer to which is - copyrights related to "decals", nose art and camouflage. I would love to recreate WWII era art but I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to do it?
I was able to find somewhat related thread. This one however is more about pictures than what you would put on fuselage

Would anyone be so kind and give me some tips if possible? Maybe guide me in some direction?
I'm currently gathering documentation and designing my first model - F4F-3 Wildcat

Nose art copyrights
If I find and image of some nose art that I would like to use in a book how would/could I find someone who could give me the copyright "thumbs-up"? For example the P-47 "Raid Hot Moma", I found a picture on this site but, there is no copyrirght info attached to it. It says who posted it but...
