Couple questions for the upcoming group build.

[B-17engineer]

Well, I guess here are my two largest questions,

The B-26, does anyone know where I can get decals for a B-26 that took part on D-day?

Did P-51D's serve at D-Day? Dumb q I know.

Both planes, does anyone have a good picture of a B-26 and P-51 in invasion stripes?

Thanks...

I think you can find a few via the Net. Try to find a pic of mjr.James A. Goodson's P-51D-5-NA "VF*B" (44-13303) of 4th FG / 336th FS used in June 1944 for instance.

Here are a few photos I found with a quick google search

Bud Anderson, the pilot of the P-51 "Old Crow" said he was in the air for 6 hours on D-Day. That was his longest mission.

Harrison, don't you have a Fairy Swordfish as well?

 

[B-17engineer]

No, I have a Gladiator

But I still ahve trouble with the decals. B-26 will be Flak Bait, I need Decals....


P-51 is still undetermined.

Nose art on 4 B-26's of the 294 bomb group. I'm doing one of those - have the markings for all of them. Probably will do Victory Read.

 

[B-17engineer]

Are there 1/48 decals for any of those?

 

[Wurger]

Great arts.....

And P-51Ds for the D-day GB

 

[B-17engineer]

Wojtek I know you showed me decals for first one. those were 1/32 I think.

 

[kgambit]

Are there 1/48 decals for any of those?

Used to be - but they are now out of print. As are the 1:72 scale ones.
