I haven't found anything better that the view at the decal marking and three additional B&W shots.

And one more image of the service ribbons. As I said the SOLDIER'S MEDAL is with the Saxon genitive ...

the pic source: the net.
 
And one detail more ... please make a focus on the small art on the left side of the squaw's fugure. It is a dog's paw print in my opinion. The doggie seems to be named Joe and was a mascot of the crew or squadron. Therefore there is it's name Joe and in parentheses, the word MASCOT written with smaller white font. The small inscription is omitted usually.

Well... I think I'm done with this.
I have some doubts about the base color: judging by the photos, the yellow either faded significantly during service, or the colors were that pale to begin with.

Looking nice. But the title of the Soldier's Medal wasn't on the black background with the white font but just like othe nemes of the medals there. Regarding the plane colour .. yes it was painted Desert Sand. The paint was getting the pinky tone due to the sunlight called the Desert Pink.
As memo serves the US paint name was ANA616 Sand. The faded paint is suggested being the FS 30279.
 
Yes, I noticed; that's an error with the black-and-white mask.
I think I made it as close to the original as possible; I avoided making it overly white, kept slight yellow undertones, and gave it a soft pink hue.
 
And the next imperfection I found ... the serial in the data plate on the port side ofthe fusealge is 41-11761 for the The Squaw kite. The Block No. is not applied.
