Decals

Does anyone know if there is a place that still sells the decals for the B 24 J Lib. Gypsy Queen. I have completed the model to match my father's plane, but my ability to paint the nose art leaves a great deal to the imagination.

Any details or photo on the aircraft? Several Gypsy Queens....

Aeromaster has at least one version

This site has several photos of different Gypsy Queens...
