This is the "commemmoration" patch created for the 355th Tactical Fighter Squadron's 'Night Hogs'.

Già postaten krukkonen! IT AIN'T SO FUNNY B-24J-185-CO 44-4085343rd Bomb Group In a departure from the normal girlie nose art, Bartigian created this amazing collection of cartoon characters to enliven the side of this B24 Liberator. Whether or not this mass of colourful characters was repeated on the other side of the aircraft is not known but yet again Sgt Bartigian managed to create a unique piece of art. While popular characters were often lifted from their page and used as nose art, so many placed together on a single aircraft is almost unique. Donald Duck, Popeye, Minnie, Cat Woman, Lil Henry are all there with several other favourites of the time. A wonderful tribute to, perhaps, the second most popular subject choice for aircraft nose art.

Già Postato! LITTLE BUTCH P-47C 41-6410 334th Squadron Assigned to Capt William B Smith Capt Smith flew two combat tours with 4th Fighter Group. This Thunderbolt was his first aircraft which was later assigned to Lt Gilbert Ross and 1Lt Richard Douglas. After taking leave in the USA Smith returned to fly his second tour in a P51D (44-14281) until killed on 13th September 1944. After being hit by flak while strafing an airfield near Ulm, Germany, Smith pulled up to around 400ft, rolled over and exploded on impact with the ground.

Già postato! This is the color version of the current unit patch that handles Weapons of Mass Destruction/NEST (like in the movie "Broken Arrow").

This is the color version of the current unit patch for the 29th Weapons Squadron. The 29th weapons squadron is based at Hurlburt Field, Florida and is part of the USAF weapons school (detachment). It is not a support squadron, but a training squadron just like all the rest (F-15, F-16, A-10), yet they fly the AF Spec Ops planes (AC-130, MC-130 and MH-53).

Bellissima foto ma già postato! CALIFORNIA OR BUST P-47C 41-6358 334th Squadron Assigned to Capt Archie Chatterly Don Allen cleverly incorporated Capt Chatterly's home town of San Diego into his design. The lower signpost reads "San Diego via Berlin". Unfortunately for Chatterly, it proved to also be via a POW camp in Germany after he was shot down on 27th March 1944 in another aircraft. When 4th Fighter Squadron re-equipped with Mustangs, "California or Bust" was transferred out of the 8th Air Force and into the 9th. On 23rd June 1944, whilst assigned to 405th Fighter Squadron it was lost on a tactical support mission in France.

This patch was the F-4's Depot Maintenance patch. They are the ones who worked on the Phantoms when they were delivered to the "Depot" for routine maintenance. Each F-4 was required to be sent to the Depot every 4-5 years in order to be "refurbished".

Già postato il Lancasterone! MISS DALLAS P-47 42-7876 334th Squadron Assigned to Capt Victor J France Capt France hailed from Dallas, Texas, and scored more than eight victories in this and a later aircraft before being killed on 18th April 1944. Don Allen repainted an almost identical image onto a P51B Mustang when the 4th Fighter Group re-equipped. Its nose art was only recently completed when this Mustang (43-6832) was lost with Capt France when he chased an Me109 at low level near Stendal, struck the ground and exploded.

This is the diamond shaped white version of the F-104G aircraft patch created for the German and US Air Forces.

SHIF'LUS SKONk!

B-17 Nose Art!

This is one of several REPRODUCTION patches that has been created to commemmorate the history of the 50th Tactical Fighter Squadron.

Ed ecco a voi il mio Scooter! in questi giorni ci ho dato dentro e sono riuscito a completarlo... direi anche a tempo di record (per la mia media), in soli 23 giorni. Devo dire che il cockpit dell'Aires valorizza tantissimo... è di sicuro la zona che mi soddisfa di più. Adesso sotto con commenti, positivi e negativi... non importa, basta che siano sinceri! Piccola curiosità... il pitot sulla deriva ha retto a 30 incidenti... arrivato alla fine del montaggio, poco prima di posizionare il tettuccio... si è rotto! maledetto! altri scatti... Messaggio Editato Da Star!

This is the one of several REPRODUCTION patches that has been created to commemmorate the history of the 487th Fighter Squadron. This is the patch, but it comes with an 8x10 poster that holds it in a plastic sleeve and has the history of the unit on the front AND the back. Quite a collectors item. Below is a scan of what the front of the poster board looks like.

This is the reproduction version of the 95th Fighter Interceptor Squadron that (I think) flew the F-4 Phantom many years ago. Their mascot, Mr. Bones, lives in current bomber and fighter squadrons around the USAF.

E' Grande la tua autocritica! :asd: Comunque questo è nuovo!

Non male, senza considerare che il modello in questione è molto scenografico, vedrai che tra i consigli dei vari esperti, in questa piccola sezione di un forum spettacolare, diventerai anche tu un Asso del modellismo!

Già Postato! Tail Art
